Onion strings or ropes looped on the single central windscreen wiper of a Piaggio Ape three-wheeled pickup piled high with boxes of fruit and vegetables as it delivers to retailers in shaded Via Mandrilisca below the facade of the Norman cathedral at Cefalu, Sicily, Italy. The Ape (Bee) motorized tricycles made by Piaggio have a major advantage over conventional delivery vans in Italy’s historic cities: a much tighter turning circle allowing them to negotiate narrow medieval lanes and alleys.
Cefalu, Sicily, Italy: onion strings or ropes are looped on the single central windscreen wiper of this Piaggio Ape three-wheeled pickup piled high with boxes of fruit and with vegetables such as potatoes, courgettes and marrows as it delivers to retailers in shaded Via Mandrilisca below the facade of the city’s Norman cathedral. The Ape (Bee) range of motorized tricycles made for many decades by Piaggio are a traditional and common site in Italian cities, especially where their tight turning circles give them a major advantage over conventional four-wheeled delivery vans when trying to manoeuvre in narrow medieval lanes and alleys.
