Don’t know grandpa’s name, but the lucky grandson he made this thing for is “Diego”. [via Boing Boing]

Though this is a wonderful rocking horse handmade by an awesome maker grandpa, it is not made from an actual vintage Vespa. You can tell that from the picture of the child sitting on it. It probably started out as a Vespa di Bambino (child’s pedal vehicle). You can find more about it from motoblog.it. http://www.motoblog.it/post/20482/foto-del-giorno-la-vespa-a-dondolo-del-piccolo-diego
