Then they might stumble. <br /><br />It was nice having the museum to ourselves though. I noticed from Google+ModernVespa that the bikes are more accessible than a few years back when everything was cordoned off. Winds of change no doubt.

So they know that one of their many brands warrants a shrine, but they haven't put two and two together. It just seems like such a missed opportunity. <br /><br />I've read that Ferrari makes more on swag than cars. Piaggio might be able to leverage that too. <br /><br />You're right, we could have pre-advised of our visit, but speaking for myself, I would have felt pretentious, which I swear I'm not.

I wonder if Piaggio will eventually stumble over your blog and pick up the marketeer's slack.

Is that one of their products?<br /><br />I suspect that if you had contacted their media relations dept in advance, you could've met someone. In a lot of venues, bloggers and press are treated similarly.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-60514054894554780952014-06-03T11:33:17.058-04:002014-06-03T11:33:17.058-04:00All great pictures.

Maybe they just think it the brand speaks for itself, or they didn't want to impede your wonder and awe.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.com
