    I visited Florence about 20 years ago. I'm a big fan of Vespa's. I bought some ice cream right there at the Duomo, sat on the step, and watched about 1000 Vespa's go by. My mind couldn't handle it, they just kept coming! I decided later that it was one of those perfect moments in life, just sitting on step of the Duomo eating ice cream with endless Vespa's. I couldn't stop smiling, then or now! I like your channel very much, it's super interesting and cool. -Paul, USA
