Snow in Northern Italy

After the II world war Piaggio SpA, an Italian motor vehicle manufacturer, made the first model of a three-wheeled light commercial vehicle. Since its 1948 introduction it has been offered in a series of body configurations. With more than 70  years of history and success, Piaggio is a brand recognised in numerous areas of the world. It is the absolute market leader in India in this specific product field.


This morning a friend of mine, who live in the Alps mountains (the Northest part of Italy), has just sent me a photo of his house covered with snow. Actually, it is not the view of Italy that first comes to mind. 


Have a nice weekend!

...Piaggio is a new brand for me. I have been watching on YouTube a young man who bought two old stone barns in the Italian Alps. It's a beautiful area.

This 3 wheeler is called the "auto rickshaw" in India and is a common mode of public transport (like cabs) in the cities.

Wow, that looks like so much snow! It never snows here in Brisbane but it may rain on Christmas day!

Hope that you have a wonderful Christmas :)

I think I heard of Piaggio. Beautiful snowy photograph. I know that snow is not rare in north of Italy especially in the mountain areas. It's the same way with Croatia. It is because people associate some European countries with vacation and the sea, they don't associate snow with those countries but there is often snow in all European continental parts. Happy holidays to you and your family.

The Alps scene is beautiful - pure soft snow. I often wonder how anyone can survive with so much snow enveloping everything from windows to doors. I would love a little snow storm. The Piaggio is well deck up for Cmas, it is a very cute way to get around
