The image of Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn riding through the streets of Rome on (we must admit) the mythical “125” is an unforgettable icon that, like few others, celebrates “ la dolce vita”, the sweet life. That famous scene in Roman Holiday tells of the birth of a real phenomenon in the life of the capital: from the Fifties to the present day, the scooter has always been the perfect vehicle for travelling, living and loving in Rome. It is certainly the Romans’ favourite vehicle because it is practical and independent, unhampered by timetables and, above all, able to cope with the intense traffic that is a characteristic of the Italian capital. Now, imagine riding
your scooter, a scooter that has all these features and, in addition, does not pollute the air while you discover this wonderful city: it is decidedly easier and nicer to admire Rome in this way, while also making a big saving on the cost of your trip.
If you are ready to go, we can propose some interesting new addresses. Prepare to taste authentic flavours, to rest in organic bed&breakfasts and to discover exclusive locations for fully enjoying Rome's “sweet life” in a new and absolutely green look.
