Vespa in Florence, Italy

Photo: Brent Petersen

I spotted this vespa with a cracked windshield in Florence and it captivated me.  I wanted to know the story.  How did the windshield get cracked?  A pebble shot up from the wheel of a car in front?  Some debris falling off a truck?  An angry pedestrian trying to cross the street?  Whatever the situation, using tape to repair the damage was ingenious.
