Fiat

The Turin company that became Italy's largest car maker, with small cars such as the Topolino, 500 and Panda.

Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino was founded by a group of investors, among them Giovanni Agnelli. The Lingotto factory, with a test track on its roof, became a symbol of modern industry.

Dante Giacosa designed the Topolino and the post-war 500 and 600, which put Italy on wheels. Giorgetto Giugiaro's Panda of 1980 was simple and practical. Fiat is now part of Stellantis.
