FIAT was founded on 11 July 1899 at the Palazzo Bricherasio in Turin. Fiat (an acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino) is an Italian car manufacturer based in Mirafiori.
Marcello Nizzoli (1887-1969), an Italian designer trained in Parma and influenced by Futurism, distinguished himself in the 1920s as a graphic designer (notably for Fiat, Campari and Martini) before becoming a major figure in industrial design at Olivetti, where he created emblematic machines combining modernity and functionality.
