Piaggio was originally founded in 1887 by Enrico Piaggio, incorporated as 'Piaggio & Co' and based in Sestri Ponente, Italy, their main business was ship outfitting but they soon diversified into many other areas, such as aviation, cable cars, railways, trailers, trams, trucks, in fact virtually anything associated with transportation.
In 1938 Enrico's son Rinaldo passed away and his two sons took the helm jointly as CEO's. The first Vespa prototype was unveiled in 1946 and was a massive hit with the buying public, causing the company to churn out over a million scooters over the first decade of production.
In the late 60's the company acquired Gilera, one of Italy's oldest European motorcycle manufacturers, and their reputation for racing prowess preceded them. Over the next three decades the company launched numerous models, and in 2001 acquired the Spanish manufacturer, Derbi.
