Our story
A PX bought at Cinecittà
Tunnel Verde grew out of Gabriele D'Ottavi's Vespa, which came off the film sets in 1997.
1997
The Vespa from the films
In 1997 Gabriele bought a PX from Cinecittà studios. It was a prop Vespa: it had been in several films before it came to him.
Getting it back on the road meant searching for parts across listings, forums and workshops, never sure a part would really fit. Hence the idea: one place, where the information is checked.
Why it exists
Today the passion is scattered
Anyone who wants to buy, sell or restore a Vespa searches across general classifieds, groups, forums, word of mouth, workshops and catalogues. The result is a scattered path, with incomplete data that is hard to compare.
Tunnel Verde builds a system around the scooter and its owner. The advantage is not more listings: it is better information, precise compatibility and expertise.
