It is the story of a country that managed to get back on track and find a fresh start after the tragedy of World War II. Today, February 17, a new exhibition opens at the Parco Esposizioni Novegro, near Milan, celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Lambretta, the still world-famous scooter.
It was conceived in 1947 by the industrialist Ferdinando Innocenti and manufactured for the first time in Milan, in a plant near the Lambro river (hence the name). In its nearly 25-year production history, this legendary scooter was built under license in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, India and Spain.
