For the first time, one of the major names in Italian car design
tells his story from the beginning; from when he made his first
sketches on paper, unbeknown to his parents and not only of cars,
to reaching a point at which his name became synonymous with some
of the best known and most important cars on the international
front. In his 23-year career at Pininfarina, Leonardo Fioravanti,
who was first a designer and architect, then managing director and
director general of 'Studi & Ricerche' department, created some
of the most beautiful Ferraris of all time; they ranged from the
1965 250 LM sports coupe Speciale to the immortal 1968 Daytona
through to the 1975 308 GTB and GTS and the 1984 288 GTO, as well
as the P5 and P6 of 1968. While continuing his Ferrari essay during
his Pininfarina career, Fioravanti also guided the creation of
numerous other projects, among them the Dino road car, the 1980
Pinin four-door prototype and went on to the 1984 Testarossa and
the 1987 F40. He worked for the Fiat Group from 1988 until 1991,
during which time he took on the roles of deputy director general
of Ferrari, later became responsible for advanced design CRF and
then head of the Fiat Styling Centre. In 1987, he founded
Fioravanti srl, an architectural studio, and in 1991 he extended
his services to industry, in particular the design of means of
transport. Images of an epoch, designs from his own personal
archive never previously seen and, above all, a passionate first
person account. Those are the key elements of this outstanding book
which, through the creations of Leonardo Fioravanti, covers over 50
years of the history of automobile style and culture.
