Rome has the highest number of registered scooters of any city in the world. In the Eternal City, scooters are used by people in all walks of life, from teenagers sporting the latest fashion garments to business people wearing suits. The artists joined in the fun too and loved zipping around Rome on their rented vespa. They have a soft spot for vespas because it’s an excuse to hold on tightly to one another and when they returned to Sydney they bought a vespa for themselves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca title=\"Australian Artists Gillie and Marc Available Sculptures at Curate Art \u0026amp; Design Gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/curate-art-design.myshopify.com\/collections\/gillie-and-marc-art\/available\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'They Were the Authentic Vespa Riders in Rome' is modelled on the artist's public art sculpture 'It Takes Two' (as pictured).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gillie and Marc (Sculpture)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46956537413801,"sku":"GM-B-TWTAVR-GR","price":2250.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/4819\/9593\/files\/Gillie-and-Marc-Sculpture-Title-_They-Were-the-Authentic-Vespa-Riders-in-Rome_-Green-at-Curate-Art-and-Design-Gallery-Sorrento-Melbourne.jpg?v=1734250520","url":"https:\/\/curateartdesign.com.au\/products\/gillie-and-marc-sculpture-they-were-the-authentic-vespa-riders-in-rome-green-3","provider":"Curate Art \u0026 Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
