Bertone\u2019s cars have returned to Turin. Consisting of about eighty vehicles, including extremely rare concept cars and prototypes, the ASI Bertone Collection has left the Volandia Museum in Malpensa to move permanently to the Heritage Hub, which, thanks to an agreement between the Automotoclub Storico Italiano and Stellantis Heritage, has opened its doors to host this extraordinary testament to the design work of that creative powerhouse of an atelier that saw the rise of great masters of car design, from Giorgetto Giugiaro to the late Marcello Gandini. And it was precisely these eyewitnesses\u2014including Giugiaro himself, along with colleagues Mike Robinson, Luciano D\u2019Ambrosio, Giuliano Biasio, and David Wilkie\u2014who created one of the most engaging moments during the presentation ceremony on March 31, with a talk that quickly turned into a flood of memories and tributes to Bertone\u2019s genius and his ability to nurture and bring out talent.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

She recalled how Fulvio Cinti, the magazine\u2019s founder, described Bertone as \u201cthe undisputed driving force behind the rise of Italian car design.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
