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.
