Pininfarina - History of a Legend / Storia di un mito

In 1930, Giovanni Battista 'Pinin' Farina received financial support from his widowed and childless aunt, enabling him to establish 'Carrozzeria Pinin Farina.' Known for his exceptional skills honed at his brother's body shop, Pinin quickly gained renown for his creativity and personality.
With a spirit reminiscent of great Renaissance artists, Pinin Farina began shaping Italian style in the 1930s, leaving a lasting mark on the automotive world. A significant milestone was the post-war creation of the Cisitalia 202 Berlinetta, a design so influential it earned a place at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Throughout its history, Pininfarina prioritized style and taste over financial gain, producing over 600 cars in 80 years without compromising quality. Renowned for collaborating with various brands, Pininfarina's portfolio includes iconic models like the Lancia Aurelia B20, Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider, and Fiat 124 Spider.
Notably, Pininfarina's partnership with Ferrari resulted in over 160 models, often crafted alongside Sergio Scaglietti's Modena-based body shop. Among these, four special models were exclusively created for Gianni Agnelli, showcasing the company's prestige and craftsmanship.
This book describes Pininfarina's history and contains photos of many of the creations of this Italian company.

Pininfarina : Masterpieces of Style

For almost 90 years Pininfarina has been synonymous with Italian coachbuilding. Some of the most iconic cars in the history of not only Italian but also worldwide motoring have been clothed by a firm that has been recognised as the creator of true works of art.

Battista Farina, known as "Pinin", was the master craftsman who in 1930 founded in Turin the `'Societa Anonima Carrozzeria Pinin Farina''. The quality and the beauty of his creations soon established the firm's reputation and well before the outbreak of the Second World War it could boast magnificent bodies on Alfa Romeo, Lancia and Fiat chassis. 1947 saw the presentation of a milestone in the history of Italian design, the Cisitalia 202.

Between the 1950s and 1990s the company produced iconic designs such as the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider and the "Duetto", the Lancia Aurelia B24 and the Flaminia, the Fiat Dino Spider and the 124 coupe, not to mention the innumerable Ferraris bodied by the prestigious Turin firm that from 1952 had become Maranello's coachbuilder of choice.
Numerous 250 GTs, the 250 Le Mans, the 365 Daytona, the 308 GTB, the Testarossa and the 288 GTO are all Pininfarina-bodied Ferraris.

This book recounts the most recent history of this giant of Italian car design with all the latest products realised in particular for the Asian market where the Pininfarina brand has an increasing presence.
There is also a chapter devoted to Pininfarina Extra, a brand within the brand, which since 1986 has been taking a 360 Degrees approach to design. The full story of this iconic Italian design firm finally told in a single volume.
