Giovanni Michelotti: The Greatest Car Designer You've Never Heard Of
Most enthusiasts know well the names most associated with Italy’s mastery of car design: from the great houses of Bertone and Pininfarina to Giugiaro’s Italdesign. But what if I told you there’s been someone who styled an incredible 1200 different cars almost singlehandedly? That man was Giovanni #Michelotti and, on the hundredth year from his birth, Turin’s National Automobile Museum #MAUTO dedicated a long-overdue homage to his work and legacy. Michelotti could create such a disproportionate body of work thanks to a combination of sheer talent and hard work, but also thanks to unique circumstances. #cardesign The exclusive merchandise you can buy to support my channel: https://teespring.com/stores/roadster-life My automotive books: Six Appeal - The Story Of The Alfa 6 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1793931046 Alfa Romeo Giulietta - The Story 1977 - 1985 ENGLISH: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1983393746 ITALIAN: https://www.amazon.it/dp/B098GVJ7RK Alfa Romeo Arna - The Full Story 1980 - 1987 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1656632500
