A slim survey volume. Stefano Roffo starts with Dante Giacosa, who designed the car, and takes the worthy successor to the Topolino through its history to becoming one of the best-loved cars of all – a design that, in Roffo's words, earned it a place of honour in the Museum of Modern Art. In the new millennium the 500 returned in contemporary form, with its rounded line and the front that seems to smile; for many it was their first little car and stays in the memory like a first kiss. Roffo is a graphic designer and writes handbooks on art, antiques and collecting; in the same series he has published volumes on vintage cars, motorcycles, the Vespa, aircraft, lorries, transatlantic liners and warships. The volume came out in 2023 from Mklibri, an imprint of Euro Graphics srl.
