Dolce Vita in Versilia

Fellini asked himself in his famous masterpiece “La Dolce Vita”: “what does one really need?” Here’s the answer: good cuisine, the bright sun in the sky, a good company and a Calessino!
While in the fifties in the States more and more powerful cars were being designed and more and more ambitious designs were under way, in Italy people relished a sophisticated, less hectic lifestyle, a new concept which was soon called “La Dolce Vita”. Nowadays this kind of subtle,carefree lifestyle has still got its intrinsic, fascinating power, even after 50 years! One of the symbols of that time was a two-wheel-motorcycle, called “Vespa” with its distinctive, nice features. Its three-wheel-“relative” is called “Ape” and the convertible version of it is called “Calessino” which means “carriage”. For your excursions in Versilia, to golf clubs, beaches, restaurants, as well as for your shopping sprees or just for pure fun, our blue Calessini will be at your disposal and they will lead you throughout the back streets of Italy, recreating just for a moment the magic fifties’ atmosphere!
Before you start driving, we will make an introduction to “Vespa applied techniques” and then you can go flat out! Or maybe we should say drive slowly and blithely, comfortably sat in your Calessino, as the maximum speed it can get to is 50 km/h: at the end of the day, you are here to relax and enjoy the fantastic view from your Calessino!
As you feel the slight breeze upon your face, it will be impossible not to fall in love with this functional, funny vehicle which is the symbol of a time that has never ceased to exist: “La Dolce Vita”!
