Unleashing Creativity: VespArt 2024 Showcases the Versatility of Vespa Primaveras in Public Art

During the Vespa World Days event in Pontedera, four Vespa Primaveras were decorated by artists and displayed throughout the town. These monumental pieces, created from Polimex and measuring 4.5 x 3.3 x 1.2 meters, were part of the VespArt 2024 exhibition project curated by Alberto Bartalini. The artists transformed the Vespas into works of public art to honor the iconic Italian lifestyle symbol.

The team of artists, including Paolo Amico, Nico Lopez Bruchi, Skim, and David Pompili, used nitro spray paints, acrylic colors, and various materials to create unique interpretations of the Vespa. Each artist brought their own style and vision to their piece, showcasing the versatility and cultural significance of the beloved two-wheeled vehicle.

The Polimex technology provided by Pontedera company Superevo was used as the sculptural base for the art pieces. This innovative technology, typically used for high-end upholstery and furnishing accessories, provided a solid and durable structure for the Vespas while remaining lightweight. The collaboration between art and technology resulted in new permanent public works that pay homage to the Vespa’s role in Italian culture and its impact on the economic fabric of Pontedera.

Fabio Salvadori, the creator of Polimex, expressed his excitement at contributing to the celebration of the Vespa through art. By combining technology with creativity, the artists were able to create lasting pieces that showcase the Vespa’s timeless appeal and cultural significance. The presence of these monumental Vespas added an extra layer of vibrancy and excitement to
