Le auto della Innocenti
Although there is no doubt that the fame of Innocenti worldwide is mainly due to Lambretta and to the productions in the field of large mechanics, from presses to rolling mills, to large steel plants, alongside all this it is also important to remember its presence in the automotive field. A presence that since the sixties has proposed, in addition to the production of well-known British cars such as the Mini, specific versions of BMC group cars for the Italian market. Versions that, both from an aesthetic point of view and for performance, featured significant innovations over the original UK-built models, such as the Innocenti Spider and Innocenti Morris IM3.
In a country where the automotive industry was firmly in the hands of the giant Fiat and Finmeccanica with Alfa Romeo, the opening of a new car factory was according to some authoritative personalities of the Italian industrial world, a gesture of great courage and, according to others, even a gesture of great unconsciousness.
Innocenti - Il Genio Italiano - Siderurgia, Scooter, Automobili e Non Solo
Not just the Lambretta or the Minis produced under license in Italy. The Innocenti story constitutes a multi-faceted industrial saga of extraordinary interest. A story never previously told in its entirety that, over the course of the years, developed within the steel sector and that of the design and construction of two-, three- and four-wheeled vehicles offering in each remarkable examples of Italian business talent.
This world may be no more but has finally been enclosed in a single volume bringing together invaluable material never previously published, most of which drawn from the remarkable archive of Vittorio Tessera, and an account based on painstaking research written by Marco Visani. More than a book, crucial documentation of an authentic Italian industrial epic.
