DELLORTO Official Partner di VESPA ROMA 2026 – 80 YEARS OF AN ICON

From June 25th to 28th, DELLORTO will be at Rome’s Foro Italico to celebrate one of the most beloved icons of Italian mobility, bringing to the event the value of a technical and industrial Made in Italy heritage built over 93 years of history.

DELLORTO will be an Official Partner of VESPA ROMA 2026 – 80 YEARS OF AN ICON, the event through which Vespa will celebrate its 80th anniversary, taking place from June 25th to 28th at the Foro Italico in Rome.

For DELLORTO, participation in the event represents a special opportunity to highlight its connection with the Vespa world and with an Italian story shaped by engineering excellence, two-wheel culture, and generations of passionate enthusiasts. It is a story that brings together two distinct yet deeply connected journeys within the Made in Italy tradition. On one side stands Vespa, a global icon of style and freedom. On the other is DELLORTO, an industrial company that for 93 years has contributed expertise, innovation, and mechanical culture to the mobility sector.

Within the event area, DELLORTO will host a dedicated exhibition space designed to guide visitors through the role played by DELLORTO carburettors in Vespa’s history, combining heritage, technical expertise, and motorcycle culture.

At the heart of the exhibition will be a selection of ten iconic Vespa carburettors displayed along a chronological journey spanning from 1946 to the present day. From the TA 17 for the Vespa 98–125, associated with the very origins of the Vespa legend, to the 2025 Vespa Standard PHDG, the display will showcase eight decades of technical evolution across different models and eras.

The DELLORTO team will be on hand throughout the event to welcome visitors, engage with enthusiasts, and provide insights into the technical features and history of the carburettors on display.

The initiative has been conceived as a moment of storytelling and engagement, celebrating the company’s heritage, its expertise in carburettor technology, and its enduring connection with a community that continues to experience Vespa as a passion, a mechanical culture, and a shared memory. It is a way of bringing to the Foro Italico not only a collection of iconic components, but also a significant chapter in the technical history of Made in Italy.

Alongside the carburettor exhibition, DELLORTO will offer a range of activities designed to engage visitors and introduce enthusiasts to the world of mechanics in a simple and accessible way. These will include interactive experiences, themed games, and a dedicated carburettor assembly station.

Throughout the event, DELLORTO will also take part in stage activities hosted by Radio DEEJAY, featuring visitor engagement initiatives and the distribution of branded giveaways.

“We are delighted to be in Rome as an Official Partner for such a meaningful celebration,” said Andrea Dell’Orto, Executive Vice President of DELLORTO. “Vespa’s 80th anniversary is an important milestone in the history of Italian mobility and for an international community of enthusiasts. We would like to thank the Piaggio Group for involving us in this special occasion. Vespa is an icon that embodies both a distinctive style and a unique community. This is something DELLORTO strongly identifies with, while remaining true to its own history, deeply rooted in products, engineering, and passionate users. For 93 years, our name has been associated with carburettors, mechanical culture, and the passion of people who love working on engines. In Rome, we want to share this connection and contribute to a Made in Italy story that continues to thrive and resonate with different generations.”

Participation in VESPA ROMA 2026 – 80 YEARS OF AN ICON further confirms DELLORTO’s long-standing commitment to the two-wheel sector, the aftermarket, and Italian motor culture. A story that began with the carburettor and has evolved over time through new technical and technological expertise, while maintaining a close relationship with those who continue to enjoy these vehicles through restoration, tuning, maintenance, and the pleasure of riding them on the road.
