Italian villages and old towns have very narrow streets. Large cars, as they are mainly built and driven today, have difficulty getting through. For the Fiat Pandas, Fiat 500s, Vespas and Piaggios, which are common in Italy and have long been world-famous, it is no problem. Sometimes I would like to have one of them too, when I have to be careful with our motorhome and use the horn before the blind bends that often occur, especially in the direction of mountain villages. By the way, I learned this from the locals. They honk to communicate in any traffic situation: "Watch out! I'm coming. I overtake. I take the right of way. Come on. Hi. I'm here. I'm still coming. What's going on? Nice motorhome :0)." At least that's how I understood it when I felt addressed myself or just observed it.

Piaggio used to drive tourists around. // Ein Piaggio, das hier ausnahmsweise als Touristentaxi benutzt wird.
