Luca has topped PirateDad’s 1:1 scale Pitty collection with his 1:1 scale … Luigi! 🙂 Okay, it’s actually his grandmother’s and according to Wikipedia, they stopped making this in 1975 – man, she’s done a great job on keeping it pristine … guess it’s those nice warm Mediterranean breezes … The Fiat 500’s are still […]
