Giotto Bizzarrini, Ferrari and Lamborghini icon, has died.
, the revived automotive outfit bearing Giotto’s name, took to Instagram yesterday to share news of his passing just ahead of his 97th birthday. Bizzarrini was one of the last remaining titans of the golden age of the Italian automotive industry, himself attached to projects set to be remembered long after all of us. Bizzarrini’s automotive career began all the way back in 1953, when he joined Alfa Romeo after graduating from the University of Pisa earlier that same year.
Bizzarrini would continue his influence in the automotive world as an independent engineer before creating the Societa Autostar in 1962. It would be through Societa Autosta that Bizzarrini helped develop the Iso Rivolta and Grifo models during their short-lived relationship.
