Vehicle Overview

The Cisitalia 202 Cabriolet Castagna stands as a testament to the rich heritage of the Castagna coachbuilding legacy. Ercole Castagna, who took over the company from his father Carlo in 1914, established a reputation for crafting conservative yet opulent car bodies. The period from 1920 to 1933 witnessed creative design under the stewardship of Ercole’s younger brother Emilio. The post-war era saw a pivotal addition to the team in the form of Giuseppe Seregni, the former Touring designer, brought in to revitalize the design department. In a collaboration that blended Touring influences with the creative prowess of Ercole and Seregni, the Cisitalia 202 Cabriolet Castagna emerged as a unique and exceptional vehicle. The 202, a model that marked the involvement of Ercole’s sons Carlo, Savino, and Cipriano in the company’s management, received a distinctive treatment. The Castagna creation featured a one-off spyder adorned with the innovative Vistotal Cabriolet body, a design incorporating a frameless windshield based on the Labourdette patent Vutotal, acquired by Castagna in 1937. The elegance and sophistication of the Castagna-bodied 202 manifested in only two specimens, unveiled in 1950. This limited production accentuated the exclusivity and rarity of this particular model. The design, a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, showcased the ongoing commitment of the Castagna family to pushing the boundaries of luxury automobile craftsmanship. The Cisitalia 202 Cabriolet Castagna stands as a timeless example of automotive artistry, capturing the spirit of a bygone era while leaving an indelible mark on the history of Italian coachbuilding.
