THE LAMBRETTA STORY

ITALY 1947 Birth of an icon

During World War II Ferdinando Innocenti ran a steel tubing factory in the Lambrate
district of Mi lan in norther n Italy, producing components for t he Italian Air Force.
After the war Innocenti needed to find a new product in order for his business to survive.

Inspired by the C ushman sco oters that the US army imported into It aly (as a means of
conveying inf ormation from o ne division t o another and to transport individual s oldiers
around th e base), Innocenti realis ed he could apply most of the parts that the factory
was already produ cing to motor sc ooter production .
He saw the scooters as producing mobi lity for the masses. A reliable and fun trans porta­tion that was affordable fo r all and revolutionary in des ign. It was an idea of genius th at
improved the qua lity of life fo r many, both in Italy an d throughout the world.

To ma ke the Lambretta even more
appealing, he offered the scooter in six
pastel colours, keeping him one step
ahead of the other Italian motorcycle,
and by the late 1940s the Lambretta
was sold overs eas.

Innocenti be came one of the new
industrial giants of post-war Italy, and
the scoot er phenomen on was o n its
way to becomin g a legend.

MODS LONDON

Swinging 60s’

The cl amour f or motor scoote rs went into decline with the advent of affordable cars,
but a reviva l came in the ’swinging 60 s’, when yo ung people in London wi th a love for
Italian fashio n became enchant ed with the sco oter. Known as Mods they e mbraced the
Lambretta as an icon for their way of life. One of the big gest bands of this era, The
Who, ha d a huge influence on Mods cultu re. Their album Quadropheni a also became
the name of a tribute Mods fil m in the late 7 0s, which featu red the Lambretta h eavily.

Even today the name Lambretta i s synonymous wi th the original Modmobile
– the Scooter – and the disti nctive Italian influenced-style of that era.
