EN - Description: Phileas Fogg is the protagonist of Jules Verne's novel "Around the World in Eighty Days." After betting 20'000 pounds with the other members of the Reform Club, he sets off on a journey around the world that he must complete within a limit of 80 days (by 8:45 on December 21, 1872). His route and travel times were as follows: from London to Suez, passing through the Mont Cenis and then Brindisi (seven days); from Suez to Bombay (thirteen days); from Bombay to Calcutta (three days); from Calcutta to Hong Kong (thirteen days); from Hong Kong to Yokohama (six days); from Yokohama to San Francisco (twenty-two days); from San Francisco to New York (seven days); from New York to London (nine days). This itinerary would later be imitated by various travelers who attempted to match or beat Phileas Fogg's record

- Description: In Vespa to the Ends of the Earth: that's the destination for a group of riders, diverse in age and origin, each on their own Vespa. They travel across Patagonia to Tierra del Fuego: an adventure that starts with twenty-three Vespas stacked in a container shipped across the Atlantic and unfolds through vast landscapes, wild animals, and unexpected incidents along the infamous Ruta 40, Argentina's longest and most spectacular road, known for its unpredictable weather and fearsome dirt tracks, now mostly replaced by asphalt. Lorenzo Franchini brings us a tale that dreams up all Vespa enthusiasts and others, conveying that strong sense of precariousness and freedom typical of an on-the-road journey, spiced up, why not, with a bit of recklessness. Despite the difficulties, those who were just nicknames on a Vespa forum before the departure become great friends. Accompanied by unforgettable skies, tumbles in the dust, makeshift camps, and roadside pasta, the Vespaonline riders cover nearly 5,000 km to reach Ushuaia, the "Southern Cape" of the world. With that slight bitterness felt when the journey is nearing its end, the author realizes that the finish line is not the end, but a new starting point to face everyday life, which often can have "turns" more challenging than those on a Patagonian route

Sur une Vespa “Où le Monde se Termine”, c'est ici qu'un groupe de cavaliers, d'âges et d'origines différents, chevauchant chacun leur propre tête de Vespa. Ils parcourent toute la Patagonie jusqu'à la Terre de Feu: une aventure qui commence avec vingt-trois Vespas empilées dans un conteneur expédié à travers l'Atlantique et serpente à travers des paysages infinis, des animaux sauvages et des accidents inattendus le long de la tristement célèbre Ruta 40, la plus longue et la plus spectaculaire route argentine, célèbre pour sa météo imprévisible et son terrible chemin de terre, aujourd'hui remplacé par de l'asphalte.
