Throughout history, Italy's outstanding talent and extraordinary creativity in automotive design has always been a feather in its cap. Its fame throughout the world has even brought people to identify certain periods of history and particular lifestyles with specific Italian cars.
Italian auto factories have turned out millions of cars from their production lines and many of them have traveled to the far corners of the globe to add luster to the fame of Italian designers.
