The book 'Carlo Abarth' (authored by journalists Fagiuoli and Gerosa) is a compelling, highly biographical account of the legendary designer, entrepreneur and pioneer of motor racing. Rather than a standard corporate history, the narrative focuses intimately on the man himself - an unpredictable, versatile, and brilliant 'wizard of engines'.

The biography chronicles his lifelong obsession with speed. It starts with his youth in Vienna, where he perfected his kick scooter to race at breakneck speeds along tree-lined avenues, and follows him as he built custom motorcycles to confidently shatter the records of contemporary champions.

As an authentic mechanical genius supported by a relentless entrepreneurial drive, he eventually established a manufacturing empire producing a lineup of cars renowned for their astonishing performance.

The authors deliberately crafted the book to read like a thrilling novel. However, nothing is fictionalized; it simply captures the genuine, mesmerizing reality of Abarth's life - a true story that borders on the unbelievable.

In short, it is a factual yet extraordinary portrait of a man who proudly defined himself first and foremost as an Italian.
