Rodolfo Patriarca (born 1908) came to Rome from the Abruzzo in the 1930s and opened a workshop in the San Giovanni district. With his sons Bruno and Franco he built racing and sports cars with Fiat mechanicals: 750 sports cars after the war, from 1959 Formula Baby Junior single-seaters with the Fiat 500 twin, later Formula 850 cars. In 1974 the workshop built an off-road vehicle with Fiat 500 mechanicals.
