Synopsis
A beautifully designed volume devoted to rarest and most collectible mid-century Italian cars and motorcycles. Catalogue to accompany the Frist Center's new car exhibition Bellissima! The Italian Automotive Renaissance: 1945 to 1975 , a follow-up to their 2013 exhibition Sensuous Steel: Art-Deco Automobiles . Following on the success of blockbusters Speed, Style, and Beauty: Cars from the Ralph Lauren Collection , Art of the Motorcycle , and The Allure of the Automobile , Bellissima! focuses on a selection of rare mid-century Italian coach-built cars and concept cars, and three unique, trend-setting motorcycles. Bellissima! will appeal to a broad general public interested in pop culture, Italian and mid century industrial design, and post-WWII history; it will engage the academic audience, auto lovers, and design enthusiasts alike., A beautifully designed volume devoted to the most collectible and rare mid-century Italian cars and motorcycles. Bellissima presents some of the most breathtaking Italian-designed automobiles and motorcycles of the post-World War II era, a series of visionary designs that thrilled the world and signaled a period of remarkable industrial rebirth. All-new photographs featuring pioneering masterpieces by Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, and others trace a remarkable lineage of design that captivated buyers and greatly influenced mid-century industrial design, architecture, aeronautics, furniture, and fashion. Created for the privileged few, these luxurious, custom-built machines embodied speed, style, and grace and exhibited a level of artistry and craftsmanship unparalleled at the time.Texts by noted automotive writers illuminate the history of this period and the impact of these designs, covering such themes as berlinetta coupes, aerodynamics, advanced mid-engine cars, wedge-shaped automobiles, and coachwork designs for domestic and non-Italian automakers.Today, Italian-designed cars from this era are among the most highly valued automobiles in existence. More than half a century after their construction, they continue to intrigue and excite all who see them.

- r***1 (178)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
- 4***1 (1638)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook arrived quickly and is pretty close to "Very Good" description. Value priced and I'm glad I made the purchase as this is an excellent read. However, the book was mailed loose inside an over-sized plastic bag without any protection. Wrapped in a bubble wrap jacket would be a big help. A book can take a beating in USPS transit without some buffer. I can't tell if the bumps and dings were original or occurred in transit. I'd prefer to pay for shipping than have it sent with no protection.
