I was born and raised in Turin, Italy, in the backyard of Fiat’s global headquarters. Automobiles had a fundamental impact on my childhood. One of my fondest memories happened when I was 9. I remember sitting on my father’s lap, driving his weathered Fiat 124 around the neighborhood. The city’s talented car designers fascinated me—they were some of the most talented car designers in the world: Pininfarina, Giugiaro, and Bertone. When I came to America, I fell in love with the industrial horsepower of 1960’s muscle cars. Inspired by my childhood, I began restoring American muscle cars with Italian influence.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia is one of the most iconic Italian machines of the 1960’s and 1970’s. When I visited my uncle in Florence, I couldn’t wait to get behind the wheel of the Giulia—it’s a vehicle that’s so powerful, yet so elegant. Restoring this beautiful car was a tribute to the memories of the legendary Italian 70’s.
