Serge Bellu traces the Fiat 500's course from its appearance in 1957 into the seventies and shows how the small car accompanied the change in the Italian way of life. Beside the production cars he follows the unlikeliest byways: the ambitious sporting versions and the inventive special bodies – coupés, cabriolets, off-roaders and beach cars. Bellu is a French motoring journalist and author; he spent much of his career at L'Auto-Journal, L'Automobile Magazine and Automobiles Classiques and writes regularly for Le Figaro, AD, Rétroviseur and Sport Auto. The volume appeared on 21 September 2016 as a joint edition of Chêne and E/P/A in the «Transport» series, format 28 × 20 cm. The special bodies in detail are the subject of Alessandro Sannia's «Fiat 500 fuoriserie», which is in this directory in both editions.
