Vintage Vespa Historical Rally

Vintage Vespas in the heart of the Monti Sicani

The Vintage Vespa Historical Rally brings a day entirely dedicated to the legend of the Vespa and the charm of vintage two-wheelers to Chiusa Sclafani, a picturesque village in the Metropolitan City of Palermo, perched on the Monti Sicani at an altitude of about 658 meters. The most beloved scooters in the history of Italian design parade through the alleys and squares of the historic center, treating visitors to a stunning display of colors, chrome, and nostalgia.

An authentic village of cherries and tradition

Known as the village of cherries, Chiusa Sclafani stretches across the Sosio river valley, in a territory rich in nature and history. Founded around the castle commissioned by Count Matteo Sclafani in the early 14th century, the town preserves the Mother Church, the Badia monumental complex, and the Church of the Annunziata. It is within this setting of stone and narrow streets that the rally finds its ideal backdrop: historic engines become part of an ancient urban landscape, and the passion of collectors intertwines with the identity of a Sicilian community proud of its roots.

Between motors and Sicilian flavors

The event is more than just a parade: the rally pairs a passion for motors with tastings of local products. Between one Vespa and the next, visitors can savor the specialties of the area, from the cherries that have made the village famous to the food and wine of the Sicani region. It is an opportunity to discover a lesser-known corner of inland Sicily, far from the beaten path, where the slow pace of village life meets the conviviality of a local festival.
