The great and discreet Marcello Gandini has left us on tiptoes

The son of an orchestra conductor studying at a classical high school, it is only logical that he should have a calling as an artist. A vocation that Marcello Gandini put into practice when he designed his extraordinary car projects. In fact, his way of working was based on a pragmatic and rational approach, and it should come as no surprise that when speaking of artists we refer to pragmatic and rational approaches: The true talent of the artist and the longevity of his works comes precisely from the fact that at the basis of them there is a careful study that anticipates creativity.

Gandini, who created cars rich in ideas and innovation such as the Lamborghini Marzal, the Lancia Strato's HF Zero and the Alfa Romeo Carabo, prepared his designs on the basis of an accurate analysis of the technological constraints given by the mechanics and those linked to the production process, always managing to find answers capable of surprising.
