La mia prima ” scappatella ” con una compagna di classe ( da Roma ad Ostia Lido )l’ho fatta nel 1956 con una Lambretta 125cc ( presa di nascosto a mio padre )………. che bello correre verso il mare in una strada contornata da pini, senza traffico e con una bella ragazza a bordo ! ! !.

The mine first” escapade” with a classmate (from Rome to Host Beach) l’ I did in 1956 with a Scooter 125cc (taken to hidden my father )………. how lovely to run towards the sea in a road surrounded from pines, without traffic and with an attractive girl on board! ! !.
