Photo Gallery «Aldo Brovarone - design magician behind the Pininfarina label»

Almost only automotive historians and design enthusiasts know his name, although Aldo Brovarone created some of the most famous car beauties in the service of Pininfarina, including the Dino 206/246 GT and the Lancia Gamma Coupé. Many of his designs have had a lasting influence on the automotive world and, of course, he knows the most about them himself. This article is based on an extensive interview that portrays a lively and alert Aldo Bravorone, who was happy to talk about his work.
