 | In 1922, Ferdinando Innocenti of Pescia built a steel tubing factory in Rome. |
| It is said that surveying the ruins, Innocenti saw the future of cheap, private transport and decided to produce a motor scooter – competing on cost and weather protection against the ubiquitous motorcycle. |
| The Innocenti Mini used the mechanical components of the original but was in many ways superior to it. |
| The Innocenti Story (5988 words) |
| Ferdinando Innocenti Ferdinando Innocenti was born in Pescia on the 1st September 1891. |
| Ferdinando’s son Luigi, who was vice-president since 1958 and who in fact always lived in his father’s shadow, succeeded in accomplishing his life long dream: he enforced his decision – and this was the only occasion in his life – to build a motor-car. |
| The Innocenti company, a leader in the field of the two-wheel vehicles and with a huge know-how derived from research (that certainly surpassed the technology placed on the marked), was sold to Leyland and the heavy mechanics division became Innse (Innocenti Sant’Eustachio). |
