Battista «Pinin» Farina

Giovanni Battista "Pinin" Farina was an Italian coachbuilder who became an internationally renowned car designer. In 1930, he founded Carrozzeria Pinin Farina, predecessor of today's Pininfarina, and quickly made a name for himself; at the time, only Carrozzeria Touring was in greater demand. His work for Ferrari from 1952 onward became his most famous, even though much of it was managed by his son Sergio. The company designed numerous vehicles for brands such as Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Fiat, Lancia, and Maserati.
