.20220311.在義大利的羅馬街頭巷尾,再度發現古典的Vespa.機車,扔然出現令人懷念.尤其是電影羅馬假期裡面的奧黛麗赫本與男主角騎車的經典畫面,瘋迷全世界也就是說Vespa.機車,從此以後暢銷全球60餘年,至今已經改良有電動型與汽油型款式行銷世界各地,事實上曾經有許多影迷至今懷念,電影羅馬假期裡面的的騎乘Vespa.情節,曾經一度使得旅行社,安排類似騎乘Vespa.的旅遊節目的行程,讓影迷們租用Veapa.機車在羅馬的街頭巷尾穿越時空,追憶年輕的時光,幻想自己就是羅馬假期裡面的奧黛麗赫本與男主角騎車的情景,筆者在上一世紀90年代,曾經旅遊羅馬,米蘭等地區,已經很少見到Vespa.機車的芳蹤出現於街頭巷尾..

女主角Princess Ann作為皇家人員,在歐洲進行外交訪問活動,是皇家的親善大使。到了歐洲的最後一站,義大利羅馬，Ann顯然有些疲憊。雖然是訓練有素的皇家公主,但是這個身分卻侷限不了她嚮往自由的靈魂。她的願望很簡單,就是可以像平凡的女生一樣,每一天都不需有時間表,能夠做自己喜歡的事情。

男主角Joe Bradley是窮困的報館職員,最初不過想透過報導公主的獨家新聞而獲取報酬,但在美麗浪漫的羅馬城裡,他們彼此之間卻由1輛Vespa.機車牽線,在羅馬的街頭巷尾穿梭,編織美麗的愛情故事,造就一場疑幻疑真的夢幻假期。

Took a picture on that very Vespa the last time we were in Rome!! Love that restaurant, hoping to get back this year!

If he was alive in 1952 he was a very little boy, but every guide I speak to at the Palazzo Colonna in Rome knows and reveres the spot where she stood. “Roman Holiday” was the first American film to be shot in its entirety in Italy, and “she” was Audrey Hepburn in her first film role, playing a princess on the lam who spends one glorious day in Rome with a journalist who figures he has the scoop of his career. Gregory Peck was the journalist; it didn’t take long for the scoop to turn into a brief romance..

This was my first visit to Rome, and I faced my own time constraints. Too many friends said that it was impossible to see Rome in the three days I had, but things worked out pretty well for Princess Ann, so I decided to go where she did. She had one day, a knowledgeable guide in Mr. Peck’s Joe Bradley, and the use of a Vespa; I had three days on foot. Much of what they saw was hundreds if not thousands of years old, so it would be right where they left it.
