The engine clicks to life and the narrow street exhales: Roman mornings feel built for two wheels. Riders peel away from a cobbled piazza, the Vespa’s chrome catching sunlight as the Tiber dares you to follow its curve. In 90 minutes a small group threads past the Colosseum, slips by the Circus Maximus, and climbs to the Janiculum Terrace where the city unfurls beneath a skyline of domes and tile roofs.
