The ultimate italian coachbuilder site

Giovanni Michelotti 29 Sept. 2023

Il primo evento organizzato da carrozzieri-italiani.com in collaborazione con il club 8Volanti Tazio Nuvolari

Con grande orgoglio possiamo ufficializzare il primo di una serie di eventi dedicati al design automobilistico nati dalla collaborazione tra carrozzieri-italiani.com e il Club 8Volanti Tazio Nuvolari.

Nel primo appuntamento abbiamo l’onore di ospitare Edgardo Michelotti, figlio di uno dei più importanti designer della storia automobilistica italiana e non solo: Giovanni Michelotti. Considerato una “mattita libera”, Michelotti ha iniziato la sua carriera presso gli Stabilimenti Farina per collaborare successivamente con quasi tutti carrozzieri italiani come freelancer. Le sue collaborazioni più strette sono state con Allemano e Vignale con cui ha creato le più spettacolari Dream Car degli’anni 50 e 60 come la Fiat 8V Demon Rouge e la Fiat 1100 TV Antibes. Nella seconda fase della sua carriera ha rilanciato marchi come Triumph e BMW rifiutando sempre la direzione dei centri stili più blasonati dei marchi automobilistici mondiali rimanendo coerente con il suo spirito libero. Nella sua carriera, Giovanni Michelotti ha disegnato 192 Ferrari e si stimano  circa 1200 autovetture. È tuttavia impossibile fare un computo preciso in quanto Michelotti non imponeva alle Case a cui consegnava i disegni di comunicare il suo nome, né di mettere marchi vari sulle carrozzerie.

L’evento organizzato in collaborazione con il Club 8Volanti Tazio Nuvolari di Mantova, (già celebri per il Concorso d’Eleganza della Città di Mantova) si svolgerà in una location suggestiva: Il Museo Tazio Nuvolari in centro di Mantova e sarà presentato dal fondatore di carrozzieri-italiani.com Andreas Scheidl e Carlo Caraffini del Club 8Volanti.

I posti saranno limitatissimi ed è gradita la prenotazione inviando una mail a:
info @ carrozzieri-italiani.com

Il tutto verrà ritrasmesso sul nostro canale YouTube ufficiale.

Rimanete  sintonizzati, a breve verrà rivelato il secondo ospite dell’evento che si svolgerà a Ottobre.

The first event organised by carrozzieri-italiani.com in cooperation with the 8Volanti Tazio Nuvolari club

It is with great pleasure that we can officially announce the first of a series of events dedicated to automotive design born from the collaboration between carrozzieri-italiani.com and the 8Volanti Tazio Nuvolari Club.

In our first appointment we have the honour of hosting Edgardo Michelotti, son of one of the most important designers in Italian automotive history: Giovanni Michelotti. Considered a “free pencil”, Michelotti began his career at Stabilimenti Farina and later worked with almost all Italian coachbuilders as a freelancer. His closest collaborations were with Allemano and Vignale, with whom he created the most spectacular Dream Cars of the 1950s and 1960s. In the second part of his career, he relaunched brands such as Triumph and BMW, always rejecting the direction of the world’s most renowned automotive design centres while remaining consistent with his free spirit.

The event, organised in collaboration with the 8Volanti Tazio Nuvolari Club of Mantua, (already famous for the Concorso d’Eleganza of the Città di Mantova) will take place in an evocative location: the Tazio Nuvolari Museum in the centre of Mantua and will be hosted by the founder of carrozzieri-italiani.com Andreas Scheidl and Carlo Caraffini of the 8Volanti Club.

Seats will be limited and reservations are appreciated by sending an email to:
info @ carrozzieri-italiani.com

The whole event will be broadcast on our official YouTube channel.

Stay tuned, the second guest of the October event will be revealed shortly.

asso di picche in movimento

As the world gathers at Milano Design Week, Italdesign emerges with an unparalleled showcase, debuting the 1:1 physical model of the Asso di Picche in Movimento. A testament to precision and artisanal mastery, this model transcends digital renderings to embody the essence of Italdesign’s vision and commitment to excellence. On display from April 15-21, this remarkable creation beckons enthusiasts and industry insiders alike to witness automotive history in the making.

Joaquin Garcia, Head of Design at Italdesign, reflects on the significance of tangible models in today’s digital age: “In an era dominated by digital innovation, a tangible 1:1 model remains central in its ability to captivate, inspire, and evoke genuine emotional response.” Garcia emphasizes the importance of public input in refining designs to meet customer expectations, underscoring Italdesign’s dedication to perfection.

CEO Antonio Casu highlights Italdesign’s unparalleled expertise in modeling and coachbuilding, essential for maintaining quality and competitiveness on a global scale. From the Nissan GT-R50 to the Caterham Project V concept coupé, Italdesign’s projects are a testament to their commitment to excellence.

Crafted from a fusion of epoxy resin and plexiglass, the Asso di Picche in Movimento model is meticulously detailed, coated in metallic grey paint with hints of blue, evoking a sense of motion and fluidity. Every aspect, from the lighting clusters to the precision-engineered rims and tires, showcases Italdesign’s dedication to perfection.

Beyond celebrating Italdesign’s heritage, the Asso di Picche in Movimento offers a modern interpretation of the original Audi Karmann Asso di Picche, a timeless masterpiece designed by the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro in 1973. Garcia explains, “It suggests a humanized approach to technology and prioritizes sustainability, enhancing the human-centric connection between driver, vehicle, and nature.”

Every detail of the Asso di Picche in Movimento is meticulously crafted with the needs of the driver and passengers in mind. From enhanced safety features to a seamless integration of technology and luxurious interiors, the model offers a glimpse into the future of automotive design.

As visitors immerse themselves in the Asso di Picche in Movimento experience at Milano Design Week, they are reminded of the beauty and resilience of the natural world, enveloped in a sensory journey unlike any other.

For enthusiasts and industry professionals alike, Italdesign’s unveiling of the Asso di Picche in Movimento marks a pivotal moment in automotive history, a celebration of innovation, craftsmanship, and the enduring legacy of Italdesign.
