The Fiat 1500 Cabriolet Allemano designed by Michelotti.
The Fiat 1500 Cabriolet by Allemano is a two-door open-top car with a 2+2 seating configuration, designed with a focus on simplicity and timeless elegance. The styling, penned by Giovanni Michelotti, reflects a classical aesthetic, free from excess and grounded in well-balanced proportions. Built on the chassis of the Fiat 1500 Berlina, the cabriolet maintains the original mechanical components, underlining its connection to the standard model while offering a more exclusive, refined body. Allemano stayed true to traditional cabriolet design principles, believing that simplicity in form ensures lasting appeal. The car’s clean, flowing lines give it a graceful silhouette, while subtle details elevate its visual impact. The most distinctive feature is the front end, which stands out with a more aggressive and dynamic design, adding character without disrupting the overall harmony. The side profile reveals gently curved panels, with a chrome molding running the length of the car, visually linking the wraparound bumpers and enhancing the sense of continuity. The design is further complemented by the availability of a removable hard top, offering versatility for varying weather conditions and year-round usability. Inside, the cabin is tailored for comfort—particularly in the front seats, which are well-cushioned and spacious for a cabriolet of its era. The dashboard retains the original instrumentation of the 1500 Berlina, preserving the functional and familiar layout. Notably, the lower edge of the dash has been carefully padded to improve safety, showing an attention to detail that goes beyond aesthetics. The Fiat 1500 Cabriolet Allemano is a refined expression of Italian coachbuilding: elegant, understated, and thoughtfully executed. It captures the spirit of open-air motoring while remaining practical and grounded in solid engineering—a true representation of Michelotti’s timeless design philosophy.
