A few more movies with old guzzis.
Roman Holiday : A 3 wheel guzzi delivery trike, and some police issue
singles in a chase scene with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn on a Vespa.
The Italian Job (the original) the 3 mini's are being chased by the Italian
state police on Guzzi's and Alfa Romeo's. This is a great movie with killer
cars, Jag XKE's, Aston Martins, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and the mini's
Capt. Corelli's Mandolin. Nick Cage is a Italian officer during WW2. The
Italian army take over a Greek Island. His main ride in the movie is a Guzzi
Single. After the Italians surrender, Z Germans take over and all hell
breaks lose. Actually a good movie.

Watched an historical movie this evening.
The Bicycle Thief (1948) ("Ladri di biciclette")
Italian with English Subtitles.
Our hero is destitute in postwar Rome. He manages to get a rare job
which requires him to own a bicycle for transport. One day at work, the
bicycle gets stolen. The movie chronicles his search for recovery of
the bicycle and his relationship to his son in the process. From
reports by relatives, it is a very accurate representation of postwar life.
At the 34:00 point, he is searching a Saturday flea market full of
stolen bicycles and stripped parts. Among all this is a wonderful view
of a Guzzino (Guzzi Cardelino, 65cc). Just a passing glance for 5
seconds, but unmistakeable. When I went back over in slo-mo, even
Regina was able to discern the eagle tank logo.
