Artioli\u2019s love of cars is closely linked to his background. Born close to Mantua, the home town of racing driver Tazio Nuvolari, as a child he was fascinated by racing drivers and their cars. At the age of 12, he devoured a book on driver\u2019s licenses. \u201cAfter that, it was clear to me that my life would be dedicated to cars and engines,\u201d he once told the magazine Classic Driver. Artioli studied mechanical engineering in Bolzano, and after the war he repaired cars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
