About this experience
Spend time on what you really want! Rediscover the authentic emotions offered only by a classic Fiat 500: listen to the soft roar of the engine, immerse yourself in the sensations of slow driving and enjoy the Sicilian landscapes you encounter. Thanks to the easy handling of the 500, you can easily enter the restricted traffic zones and the narrowest alleys of the city, embracing the less travelled, longer but certainly more exciting alternative. Living the driving experience of a Classic Fiat 500 becomes an opportunity to fully savor what surrounds you: admire the poetry of a sunset, the beauty of a panorama or the charm of a monument. Choose the less conventional and busy road to explore hidden wonders, aware that sometimes getting lost can lead to the discovery of unexpected beauty.
