Piaggio Logo — Piaggio is a company based in Italy that produces cars, motorcycles, scooters (scooters) and aircraft. Founded by Rinaldo Piaggio in 1884, Piaggio initially produced locomotives and railway cars. During World War I the company focused on the manufacture of airplanes.
During World War II, the company manufactured fighter aircraft, but Piaggio emerged from the war with its plant in Pontedera completely demolished by bombing. The affected Italian economy and the sorry state of the roads did not help the rebirth of the automotive market. Enrico Piaggio, the son of the founder of Piaggio, decided to leave the aviation industry to meet the urgent need of an Italian modern transportation and economic time. The idea was to design an inexpensive car for the masses. More
