Our little Italian Ape Piaggio flower truck was born from a trip to Italy. We were amazed and intrigued by these tiny little trucks. They would be zipping around in the cities of Italy carrying fresh flowers, luscious fruits, and vegetables to local grocery stores and squeeze through tiny alleyways and the beautiful Italian coastlines. You could find them set up in nooks and curves along the coastline in Amalfi.
We were in ahhh! We love flowers and come from the background of landscapers and gardeners in our family (with a love of roses). From our great-grandparents, grandparents, and even mom and dad. We would go to Sunday dinners at my grandparent’s home as a child and just walk the flower and vegetable gardens taking in the fresh smell of tomatoes and the scents of beautiful yellow and red roses! So what a better idea to bring our love of flowers and to bring a piece of Italy to Pittsburgh than with our little Ape Piaggio flower truck! Beep Beep!
