Museo Piaggio

Museo Piaggio preserves Piaggio’s industrial and social history through a 3,000 m² permanent collection and the Piaggio Historical Archive. The museum occupies a restored former factory building and opened in 2000.

Exhibits range from early Vespa prototypes to later production models, archival documents and rotating temporary shows. The site is part of Fondazione Piaggio’s cultural project and is regularly listed in regional tourism guides.
