Pininfarina: Storia Di Un Mito/ History Of A Legend

Product description

A widowed and childless aunt played a notable role in the creation of the ‘Carrozzeria Pinin Farina’. In 1930, she gave a million lire to his 37-year-old nephew Giovanni Battista, ‘Pinin’ Farina, who had demonstrated excellent skills working in the car body shop owned by his older brother. With that capital, ‘Pinin’ set up his own business, establishing himself for his creative genius and personality. With a spirit worthy of a great Renaissance artist, since the 1930s he has distinguished himself in the affirmation of the Italian style in the world. A fascinating story, in which the artistic genius of the founder dominates, who found in his son Sergio, an engineering graduate, a worthy follower, in the wake of the typical Pininfarina philosophy: always innovative style and industrial development, at an unusual level for the sector. Wonderful story within history, the sequence of Ferraris with the Pininfarina brand (over 160 models!), in many cases produced with the important contribution of Sergio Scaglietti’s body shop in Modena. In this volume full of images, the fascinating story.
