Product description
The engineer who left a lasting mark on the history of Italian automobiles reveals, in this surprising volume, a lesser-known yet equally fascinating side of himself. Caricature brings together over sixty years of drawings by Dante Giacosa, offering an intimate and ironic glimpse into his world.
Across its pages are playful portraits of colleagues, friends, and figures encountered along the way, all captured with a light hand and a sharp eye. The caricatures, selected and curated by his daughter Mariella Giacosa Zanon di Valgiurata, show Giacosa’s ability to capture the essence of a person or situation with just a few strokes.
This is more than a collection of sketches: it’s a parallel narrative to his technical career, rich in subtle observations, gentle humor, and a keen sense of everyday life.
62 caricatures.
