A children's book in which a Fiat 500 tells its own story: from the beginning of the project, through the production versions and the special and sporting models, to the Giannini of 1993. Alessandro Soncin made it together with Antonella Mecenero; the drawings are by Sara Marchetto, Stefano Scapolan and Francesca Morici – comic-style pictures beside technical drawings, from which children learn to tell the models apart. Soncin wrote it, by his own account, because there were historical works, photographic volumes, sporting and technical books on the 500, but nothing for children. The first edition of April 2010 has 111 pages in black and white, printed by Grafica Elettronica; it is distributed through the Fiat 500 Club Italia. In July 2010 an enlarged version of 160 pages followed from Seneca Edizioni in the Manuzio series, edited by Enrico Bo (ISBN 978-88-6122-234-2). By Enrico Bo this directory also holds «Tutti i colori della 500» and «Fiat 500. L'utilitaria della libertà – The freedom car».
