The journey, the Vespa, Luca and Matteo ...
Perhaps words are not enough or perhaps they are also useless, what would be needed is to leave, backpack, water bottle, costume, a wasp and last but not least, a companion, the faithful one, the friend, the brother.
What happened a month ago is history for us, a smile for others.
A journey, which differs from a holiday, for experiences, dynamism and passion, which we will never forget.
travel…
Well, after this initial sermon, I introduce myself, my name is Matteo and I live in the province of Rimini in a small town, Poggio Torriana, and it is precisely from here that I want to start. For 3 years I lived with my cousin, Luca, an active boy, full of life and with an easy dream, like me. One winter evening before falling asleep he tells me how much he missed his land, Sicily, its sea, its volcano and its Vespa. He began to tell me how the latter was a goal for him, and how he had now become dependent on her. I wrinkled my nose a little and said that it seemed exaggerated to attribute so much affection to an object, until I bought one and found myself in the same situation, polishing it every day, cleaning it, having an almost paranoid relationship, it's love.
At the news of my purchase, he immediately starts with the proposal "let's take a trip".
Yes, but where to go? There are many destinations but, after calculations and researches, we decide that for heart and passion our experience must have only one title
“Tour of Sicily on a Vespa”.
The months are hectic and the problems follow one another and are resolved. The adrenaline grows. Let's go.
I don't want to dwell on how beautiful and hospitable this land is, but I want to give some advice to you who are reading it.
Love your country, enhance it, export it, scream your Italian spirit with all its strengths and weaknesses, love it and don't throw it away. Live it!
Let us remember that at night we sleep in the cradle of world culture and we walk on historical grounds, not trample them.
Travel, get to know, talk, taste and see, look at every corner.
Live Italy!
See you next adventure.
Special thanks to my cousin Luca at the site italiani.it, to Paola Stranges,
to the officina époque (santarcangelo di romagna), to my family, to my girlfriend
(who supported and SUPPORTED me).
THANKS TO YOU WHO HAVE FOLLOWED US!
