Fiat 500: Vom Volksauto zur Stilikone

El Fiat 500 es mucho más que un coche pequeño. Concebido inicialmente como un producto de nicho, su diseño elegante y su precio asequible lo convirtieron rápidamente en uno de los automóviles más vendidos de su época.

Entre 1957 y 1977 se fabricaron unos cuatro millones de unidades. Tras modelos menos carismáticos como el 126, el Cinquecento y el Seicento, el 500 regresó con gran éxito en 2007, cincuenta años después de su lanzamiento. Desde entonces, es una presencia habitual en las calles.

Massimo Condolo narra la historia de este símbolo italiano, desde el Topolino y el legendario Nuova 500 de 1957 hasta la versión actual. Fotografías de alta calidad, numerosos renderizados y referencias a su presencia en el arte, los medios y el cine dan vida al Fiat 500.
