Auto è Arte
by Stefano d'Amico
2025 – SdA Publisher
The mechanical device known as the automobile, like the sheet metal that covers it, is the result of human genius. And often those metal panels have become true works of art thanks to the flair of body shop mechanics or rather, artists, mostly Italian, who designed and shaped them with file and hammer rather than with brushes. By contrast, it was culture and Enlightenment thinking that inspired some manufacturers, particularly Alfa Romeo, to entrust not only skilled coachbuilders but also renowned sculptors and painters with promoting and enriching the cultural depth of their brand image.
The history of the Alfa Romeo Trophies is an example of this. They tell and represent not only the symbols of that marque, but the very history of our country as illustrated by art in its more recent, yet still brilliant and fertile, years.
