design did not grow out of specialization. From the Vespa scooter to the
Sacco beanbag, from the inflatable Blow chair and Olivetti's red Valentine
typewriter to Alessi's Conica espresso maker, most of Italy's design classics
were created by self-taught designers. None of the people responsible
for Italian design's mythic aura had ever studied "design'a field
that didn't even exist in Italy's schools until the 1980s. Instead, they
are architects, artists, engineers, chemists, aircraft builders, and race
car drivers. The Italian automobile industry developed more rapidly, though its output of luxury limousines and race cars was reserved for a small, wealthy clientele. Fiat was founded in 1899, followed by Lancia in 1905 and Alfa Romeo in 1909. These companies combined progress and tradition in a peculiar mix: while technological achievements and division of labor in the manufacturing process pointed forward into the new century, their cars' interiors displayed the pompous opulence the old century had felt at home in. The Fiat Zero, introduced in 1912, marked a turning point. The Italian answer to Ford's Model T, it followed the American principle of lower cost through mass production. Efficient industrial production after the American model became increasingly common, particularly among the large automobile manufacturers. Adopting the streamlined look, car-body designers such as Pinin Farina and Bertone applied it to such luxury models as Lancia's Aprilia Coupe, the Fiat 1500, and the Alfa 6 C 2300 "Pescara" Coupe. In 1936, Fiat took a more important step, introducing a car that had been designed for social reasons, not spectacular looks. The Fiat 500, priced at a widely affordable 8,900 lire, was the world's smallest car and quickly became ubiquitous on Italy's roads. By 1948,150,000 of the "Topolini"had been sold. 1946-1965 Used Car History PeriodThe automobile industry was a major client for Italy designers. With their genius for elegant and occasionally spectacular details, the car body designers Pinin Farina and Bertone were celebrated as the automobile's haute couturiers. Cars like Pinin Farina's 1947 Cisitalia, with its voluptuous curves, and the sleek 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider became the embodiment of motorized luxury. While the former racecar driver Enzo Ferrari focused on producing speedy sports cars. Fiat concentrated on building mid-sized and compact models. Fiat's 1957 introduction of the Nuovo 500, an updated version of the old Topolino, turned countless Italians into motorists. "Italians wanted cars, and would have accepted the smallest space, as long as it was on four wheels," Dante Giacosa, the little vehicle's creator, wrote in his memoirs. 1980-1999 Used Car History PeriodIn the automotive industry, where high production costs demand a certain predictability of success, design followed other criteria. Giorgetto Giugiaro was representative of a new generation of car designers. Progressive and service-oriented, his focus was not on luxury models but, after the oil crises of the 1970s, on lower-priced compact and mid-sized cars. The stripped-down 1980 Fiat Panda and the 1983 Fiat Uno still displayed a distinctively Italian flair and were hugely popular with young, upwardly mobile Europeans, a testament to Giugiaro's subtle instinct for stylistic details and trends.
