Giugiaro / Ital Design cars: books

A book on Giugiaro / Ital Design cars? Here are books on the history and technology of the Giorgetto Giugiaro and Ital Design-designed cars.

Giugiaro - Masterpieces of Style

A volume devoted to Giugiaro and Italdesign could hardly not be included in the Masterpieces of style series.

Giugiaro is one of the most prestigious names in the history of automotive design, synonymous with iconic cars such as the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT and Alfetta, the Volkswagen Golf, the Audi 80, the Fiat Panda, Uno and Punto, the Lancia Delta, Thema and Prisma and the Maserati Bora, Ghibli and Merak, to mention but a few of the most successful designs to carry the Giugiaro name.

Born in 1938 at Garessio in the province of Turin, Giugiaro honed his professional skills at Bertone and then at Ghia before setting up on his own when founding Giugiaro Italdesign in 1968.
Today the firm is as active as ever and has been responsible for concept cars such as the Caimano, the Iguana and the Canguro, all based on Alfa Romeo mechanicals, and the Asso di Picche and the Quadri on respectively Audi and BMW chassis.

This monograph covers this long technical and stylistic history, drawing on a clear, comprehensive text and hundreds of photographs, many of which previously unpublished.

Giugiaro (Auto Portrait)

Né en 1938 à Garessio, dans la province de Turin, Giorgetto Giugiaro a affûté son talent professionnel chez Bertone, puis chez Ghia avant de s'installer à son propre compte en créant Giugiaro Italdesign, en 1968.
Il a marqué l'histoire du design automobile en Italie, mais également à l'international, puisqu'il est connu dans le monde entier.

Design par Giugiaro

Les travaux de Giorgetto Giugiaro ont profondément marqué la vision de plusieurs époques automobiles. Le patron de la maison Italdesign a écrit l'histoire du design avec des concepts-cars, des prototypes et quantité de modèles fabriqués en série. Dans ce livre, le maître turinois présente et commente les modèles les plus importants de sa création, à commencer par les Ferrari des années 1960 - encore sous l'ère Bertone - jusqu'à la nouvelle Brera d'Alfa Romeo, laquelle fait fureur en tant que modèle de série. La palette est complétée par les travaux de Fabrizio Giugiaro, qui suit déjà les traces de son père avec bon nombre d'études remarquables.

L'artiste photographe, Peter Vann, réputé internationnalement pour son expression photographique, a accompagné la vie professionnelle des deux Giugiaro. Son interprétation visuelle des quarante véhicules présentés dans cet album, superbement illustré, confère une indéniable noblesse à la classe automobile.
