The decommissioned taxi, a 2011 Ford Crown Victoria, logged over 550,000 miles before leaving New York City and heading to Italy for a new life.
Mauro Marroncelli, the car's new owner, plans to maintain its New York identity by preserving the bright yellow paint job and taxi emblem on the door.
The taxi's transformation from a role as a busy New York City cab to a weekend car in Milan signifies a nostalgic repurposing of urban history.
Marroncelli reflects on the quirkiness of owning a retired taxi at his age, attributing it to a change in perspective as he nears 40.
