In the midst of abandoned movie projects, Brass directed this TV commerical for Piaggio advertising the Vespa motorscooter. I think it was one of a series of three concurrent commercials.
THE LINK IS DEAD, BUT IT WAS GREAT, BELIEVE ME:

It was an article by Adam
Arvidsson of the University of East Anglia entitled “From Counterculture to
Consumer Culture: Vespa and the Italian Youth Market, 1958–78,” which
appeared in the Journal of
Consumer Culture 1, no 1 (2000), pp 47–71.
Yet it’s difficult for me to imagine Tinto Brass riding a Vespa motorscooter.
Methinks he prefers the sardine-mobiles.
