G. Beccio and M. Viotti Vespa Piaggio Rally

A tribute to the Vespa in the heart of Valsesia

Every year, on a Sunday in June, the streets of Borgosesia fill with the unmistakable hum of Vespa Piaggio engines, the true icon of Italian post-war design and mobility. The G. Beccio and M. Viotti Vespa Piaggio Rally brings together enthusiasts, collectors, and curious visitors to celebrate one of the most beloved vehicles of all time, in an atmosphere of friendship and festivity that has become a staple of the Valsesia summer calendar.

From Piazza Mazzini to the valley's scenic views

The heart of the rally is Piazza Mazzini, in the center of Borgosesia, where participants gather early in the morning for breakfast and registration. From here, the Valsesia scenic tour begins—a perfect opportunity to traverse the region on a vintage Vespa and enjoy the valley landscape at the slow, characteristic pace of these two-wheeled machines. The return is scheduled at Parco Magni, where the day continues with an aperitif, the awards ceremony, and a convivial lunch.

A memory, two names

The rally is dedicated to the memory of Giancarlo Beccio and Mario Viotti, figures closely linked to the local Vespa community. This dedication makes the rally not just a leisure event, but also a meaningful gesture of community and remembrance. The event is organized by the Antichi Vespisti Valsesia association, in collaboration with the City of Borgosesia.

Who is the rally for?

• For owners of vintage and modern Vespas who want to participate in the scenic tour
• For collectors who wish to showcase their vehicles
• For families and curious visitors who want to admire the Vespas in the square and soak up the day's atmosphere
