Pio Manzu
Pio Manzù is famous not only for having designed one of the most successful models ever in the history of the Italian auto industry (The Fiat 127) but also for his works on a number of prototypes and research vehicles which were highly innovative, both formally and technically. Examples are the NSU – Autonova GT and Fam, the Autobianchi Coupé (with the body made wholly of synthetic materials) and the City-Taxi built for Fiat in 1968. Pio Manzù always sought to back up his design work with critical reflection. He contributed to the magazine “Style Auto” and his creative commitment was never separated from broader consideration of the issues of mobility and the function of design. Despite the importance of his role and contribution in car design world, his projects and realization are for the most unpublished.
