Dreams from Torino

One of the more spectacular exhibitions is now open at the World Design Capital in Torino, Italy. In the spacious Torino Esposizioni hall, 50 concept cars are being displayed that highlight Italian design from the last 59 years.

In the entrance sits a 1930 Fiat 525 SS, one of Italy’s first stylized cars. Nearby is Pininfarina’s Modulo, probably the most daring Ferrari ever made. One car which caught our eye is the Ghia Gilda we saw earlier this year at Pebble Beach.

From that initial impression, the exhibit goes from strength to strength. Selections from the collections of Fioravanti, Alfa Romeo, Italdesign and Bertone showcase the change from curvaceous lines to acute angles with straight lines and the current synthesis of the two.

Matteo TT Stucchi took a day trip to visit the Dream exhibition and we can present a feature gallery of all the cars present. We have divided his work into modern and classic design. Since exhibition is open to the public until the end of December, we strongly recommend a visit.
