The '''Faggio''' is a scooter based on the ''[[wp:Piaggio|Piaggio]]'' range, found in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and its [[GTA IV Episodes|episodes]].

Although the Faggio is pronounced "fah-jee-o", many players tend to pronounce it as "fa-gy-o", not doubt referencing the effeminate nature of the scooter in comparison to other bikes (and indeed, most vehicles).

It is the only scooter in the series, excluding its delivery variants, the [[Pizza Boy]] and the [[NoodleBoy]].

The Faggio's appearance remained virtually unchanged between [[GTA III Era|GTA Vice City to GTA Vice City Stories]], being based off a 1970s-1980s [[wp:Vespa|Piaggio Vespa]], apart from one of its brake lights being broken on the San Andreas model. The Faggio is the slowest motorcycle in each of the five games in which the vehicle appears, but makes up for this with its excellent maneuverability, acceleration, and light weight.

In GTA IV, the Faggio took on the appearance of a modern scooter, possibly a Baccio DLX 50; it has a new engine sound, no longer has a single transmission number, and its handling has been greatly changed, yet it is still the slowest motorbike in the game. Using the Faggio is the easiest way to do long wheelies. In [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], the GTA IV version is present as well as a more classical version reminiscent of the original Vespa, but features exotic seat covers in purple velvet, or with leapord or zebra skin patterns.

The [[Pizza Boy]] (or Pizzaboy) delivery scooter, featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories|GTA Liberty City Stories]], is a modified Faggio with a back-mounted box installed to carry pizzas (or other goods), and painted in the livery of the vehicle's respective owners. Another delivery scooter, the [[NoodleBoy]] from GTA Liberty City Stories, has similar handling and speed to the Faggio, but has a different, more contemporary design. In GTA Vice City Stories, there is another delivery moped looking like the Faggio called the [[Ventoso]]; which has a higher top speed and acceleration than the Faggio.
