Interview with Edgardo Michelotti on his father’s story

Online magazine Italian Ways has published an inspiring video interview with Edgardo Michelotti, son of legendary designer Giovanni Michelotti.


In the video Edgardo Michelotti, a designer himself, shows some of the drawings, models and tools owned by his father Giovanni and tells some interesting anedoctes of his professional life.

Giovanni Michelotti (1921-1980) was one of the most prolific – if not the most prolific – car designer in history, with over 1,000 vehicles designed and actually built, either in series production or as privately commissioned one-offs.
