Paolo, after Sergio and Andrea, has left us. Pininfarina will not forget the men who made it unique, nor will all collectors and enthusiasts. Roarington's condolences.

The feeling is like all of a sudden an icy breeze brutally shuts a door in your face. This is the emotion felt by those who knew Sergio, Andrea and Paolo Pininfarina. Indeed, all three of them ruthlessly departed from the myth of their lives as refined visionaries of style and taste, at a time when the world would still need them. Now Paolo at 65, in 2008 his brother Andrea at 51 and between them the great Sergio, their father, in 2012. For all of them too soon.

Why do we remember them together? For a simple reason: After the pioneering beginnings of Pinin Farina in the 1930s, it was Sergio's turn and then Andrea's and finally Paolo's time to write the great history of Pininfarina. A history made with typical Savoy elegance, with grace and professionalism always put before everything and with the ability to know how to choose designers capable of respecting what has been and always will be the Pininfarina style.
