BEST IN SHOW ( RILEGATO - HARDCOVER )
CAPOLAVORI ITALIANI DELLA COLLEZIONE LOPRESTO - ITALIAN MESTERPIECES FROM THE LOPRESTO COLLECTION
Frequently, a text can be defined as exclusive, since its content is particularly exclusive and rare. This definition applies perfectly to the book on the historical car collection of Corrado Lopresto, one of the most important classic car collectors, with a personal predilection for unique, and therefore very rare, pieces.
This volume presents 20 Italian cars built in a single or extremely limited edition that belong to the Lopresto collection, one of the most important in Italy and among the most prestigious worldwide: true works of mechanical art that have won more than one hundred and eighty international awards, including forty Best in Show.
From the Isotta Fraschini Tipo 1902 (1901) to the Lancia Alfa 12hp Miller (1908), from the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Touring (1939) to the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Bertone (1955), from the Lancia Flaminia Speciale Pininfarina (1963) to the Autobianchi A112 Giovani Pininfarina (1973), this collection offers a unique insight into the history of cars, design, Italy and its creativity.
Considered to be one of the world's most important collectors of classic cars, Corrado Lopresto oversees the restoration and historical research of the precious examples in his collection and is a true authority on the subject.
Revered and admired at Pebble Beach as much as at Amelia Island, Mulhouse or Goodwood, he is the only one to have won four Gold Cups at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este since 1929.
Best in Show, published by Skira Editore, is presented in a particularly luxurious layout with photos in many cases double-page spreads. Every car featured is accompanied by a detailed description. The iconographic documentation is very elegant. All cars were photographed in studio.
