After the ceremony bride and groom got on vintage Fiat 500 to reach famous Orta main square<\/strong> where was a motorboat waiting for them to lead them to St. Julius Island for wonderful wedding pictures.
\nBack to Orta pier, Shauna and Marco got back on Vintage 500 to reach a lovely Castle above Orta where their families and guests were waiting for them. <\/p>\n

The choice to rent a vintage Fiat 500 was really nice and funny everybody loved that especially guests coming from Ireland. Fiat 500 is a real Italian style icon. When you think about Italy many think about wonderful food, pasta, pizza, or music Pavarotti, movies, Fellini and motors Vespa, Ferrari and naturally Fiat 500!  <\/p>\n

\"Fiat<\/a><\/p>\n

Not many know that city of Torino<\/strong> (Turin) is Piemonte main city which also was the first Italian capital back in 1861.
\nThis year Italians celebrate the 150 anniversary of Italian Unity<\/strong> and celebrations will start just from Torino. Fiat 500 was produced in exactly in Torino.<\/p>\n

Fiat 500 history is quite strange. Benito Mussolini<\/strong> back in 30s called Senator Giovanni Agnelli<\/strong> – owner of Fiat – asking him to produce a cheap but nice car for all Italians. This should had the cost of no more than 5000 Liras. 
\nThis was a great an progressive idea and Hitler decided to copy it asking to Ferdinand Porche to create a car for all Germans at the cost of about 1000 Marcs and this was the beginning of Beetle legend.  <\/p>\n

In 1936 the first Fiat 500 was born. It was also known as Topolino<\/strong> (Mickey Mouse in Italian) becoming the smallest car in the world that was mass produced.
\nIts round shapes broke the tradition of classical squared ones. It was comfortable and nice and everybody could drive that. For this reason it had a great success making it an Italian icon all over the world.  <\/p>\n
