Sergio Pininfarina R.I.P.

Sergio Pininfarina passed away yesterday night at his house at the age of 86, he was ill since a long time
The "made in Italy" loses another one of its great protagonists.
Farewell to a giant.

Ciao

Andrea

The End of an Era

He was one of the last of the great Italian coachbuilders of the 50s, 60s, 70s, when Italian design ruled the world.

What a legacy!

Addio Sergio Pininfarina!
