Getting around Italy can be a challenge. There are crowds and cars. So, the most fun way to explore a country this big is in the smallest car. "Guys, what to say about the Fiat 500. It's an icon. It's like the symbol of Italy," said Christine Bravi, a tour guide. Mauro Bramante loves the Fiat 500. His garage is full of them. "It was more than just a car. It was a symbol of previous Italian generations," Bramante said. "Fiat is an Italian company from Turin. They start making cars the beginning of last century but they became very successful with the Fiat 500. It was the very first affordable car." Bramante wants visitors to experience the joy Italians have known for over half a century with a tour. "We teach them how to drive the car. We teach them how to start the car, how to use the gear," Bramante said. "Then, once we have done the test, they are off on the road and they drive around the hills around Florence."
