We knew something must be up because bunting appeared across our road the day before. The next morning we went out to discover a rally of Fiat 500's and some other vehicles besides. Just up and across from our front door this beautiful old car was the first thing we saw.
Along the main Via San Quirico the whole street was lined with Fiat 500's in a rainbow of colours. Some were carefully restored to original condition, some had been pimped with special paint jobs, luxury leather upholstery and fancy steering wheels.
They are rear-engined like the VW Beetle and a number of cars had the cover up to reveal gleaming, polished engines.
The car parking space between the two bars, History and Mozarella, was double stacked with historic vehicles.
There was even a Fiat 500 people mover though you wouldn't want to move a Rugby team in it.
The view from The Bridge as the upper level part of Via San Quirico is known.
Then our local Ferrari did a drive past. It may have a Rome number plate but the car (and presumeably the owner as well) lives in the town. Not the first time we have seen this car.
There also some vintage Moto Guzzi dating from the 1930's all in immaculate condition.
A pleasant surprise to see such fun, always nice to stumble across something unawares.
