ver the years at
Auto Italia,
I’m proud that we’ve been able to shed light on
some of the most enigmatic figures in Italian car history – in particular, the
people who designed some of the prettiest, most acclaimed cars on the planet
during the 1950s and 1960s. I say ‘enigmatic’ because very few designers were
named in an era when the ‘celebrity stylist’ hadn’t yet been conceived. Genii of
the drawing board were generally treated as simple employees of the great companies.
We’ve previously featured such little-known but brilliant figures as Francesco Salomone
of Pininfarina (behind the Cisitalia 202, Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider and Alfa Romeo
Giulietta Spider) and Federico Formenti of Touring (Lancia Flaminia GT, Alfa Romeo
Disco Volante and Aston Martin DB4).
For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to solve the mystery of who designed
some of Ferrari’s greatest cars of the 1950s and 1960s. It seemed incredible to me
that no one should know precisely who styled such iconic and seductive Ferraris as
the 250 GT SWB and 275 GTB4.
So imagine my delight when our regular contributor, David Rodríguez Sánchez, told me
he’d researched a story on the man who designed all of the following Ferraris: 250 GT
SWB, 250 GTO, 250 GT Lusso, 250 LM, 246 SP Dino, 275 GTB4 and 330 P3/P4. I asked:
“All of these designs were the work of one man?” He replied, “Yes, and it’s someone
you’ve probably never heard of”.
David was right. I had never heard of Edmondo ‘Millimetro’ Casoli, Enzo Ferrari’s right-hand
man in Maranello’s in-house design department. It’s a personal delight to say that
publishing David’s story finally reveals the truth about this extraordinary man and his
contribution to the world of design. I hope you’ll enjoy his discoveries as much as I have.
