Ottant'anni di presidenti italiani: dalla Fiat del regime alla Maserati col porta-pipa

There's a garage in Rome that almost no one has ever seen. Kept within the walls of the Quirinale Palace. Over eighty years, some of the most beautiful and significant cars that Italian industry has ever built have passed through. The Fiat 2800 Torpedo that carried Mussolini and Hitler through the streets of Rome. Used by the Republic because there wasn't the money to buy new ones. Sandro Pertini's #Maserati Quattroporte with the pipe holder specially mounted on the door panel. The white 1961 #Flaminia that in 1985 saved Cossiga's inauguration when the Maserati failed to start in front of the cameras. Mattarella's Fiat Panda for private travel. And then the controversy that divided Italy: the day the Quirinale chose a German car over an Italian one. Eighty years of presidents. Eighty years of cars. Every car is a reflection of the country. Which one surprised you the most? Let me know in the comments 👇 This is #GaragedelCapo — eighty years of the Italian Republic told through their engines
