An exhibition of 'vintage' cars will celebrate the centenary of the birth of the lawyer Gianni Agnelli tomorrow and for the entire weekend in Forte dei Marmi (Lucca) with the exhibition of five historical pieces, including one of his favorite models, the 2400 Spider Fiat Dino (1966), with a Ferrari engine, which he himself loved to drive alone.


    The event will take place between piazzetta Apuane and via Carducci and, the promoters explain, aims to be a moment of memory of Gianni Agnelli and the contribution made by his family to the development and fame of Forte dei Marmi.


    The presence of the Agnelli family at the Forte since the 1920s has contributed to attracting members of the upper middle class and aristocracy from all over Italy to Versilia, inaugurating a holiday model with a refined and exclusive style, the so-called "living in a villa". Each car in the exhibition carries with it a meaning that refers to Gianni Agnelli even if they are not cars that belonged to him as an owner. In addition to the 2400 Spider Fiat 'Dino', there will also be a Fiat 600 (one from 1955 and one from 1963), built between 1955 and 1969 and considered the icon of the Italian economic boom; the Fiat Nuova 500 (1971) built from 1957 to 1975 with the need to be sold to the working class, also known by the popular name the 'Cinquino'; L'Alfa Romeo Giulia Coupé 1750 (1069) which thanks to its lines and excellent road quality became one of the most sought-after cars by the lords of the time, the cummenda. Furthermore, during the event, funds will be raised to support women victims of violence, making available personalized masks made by Sartoria del Mare.
