Joy Ride: Hundreds of vintage scooter fans roll through Santa Rosa

Fans of Lambretta motor scooters are making Wine Country home during the Lambretta Jamboree.

Lambretta is the brand name of motor scooters manufactured in Milan starting in 1947, in the aftermath of World War II. His steel-tubing factory leveled by Allied bombs, Ferdinando Innocenti retooled the plant to make scooters ideal for navigating roads and cities still clogged with rubble.

This year marks the 75th birthday of Innocenti’s inspiration. The 350 devotees in Santa Rosa for this milestone rally include visitors from Italy, Canada and all over the U.S., including Florida, said club secretary Kieran Walsh, who flew in from Tampa.
