This book is a commemorative work designed to celebrate the 70th anniversary (1956–2026) of the famous Fiat 600 Multipla. The author, Mauro Di Addezio, deeply explores the genesis, engineering, and, most importantly, the profound social impact of a car that completely revolutionized passenger transport.

Widely acknowledged as the world's first true modern minivan (MPV), the 600 Multipla was the brainchild of legendary designer Dante Giacosa. The book illustrates how this vehicle managed to perform a miracle of ergonomics by seating up to six people comfortably within the very compact footprint of the standard Fiat 600 chassis.

The publication bridges mechanical history with cultural analysis:

The Family Icon: The text recounts how the Multipla enabled thousands of large Italian families to travel together and go on holiday for the very first time during Italy's post-war economic boom, effectively democratizing group mobility.
The Working Symbol: A significant portion of the book covers the Multipla’s role as a commercial vehicle and, most famously, as a taxi. Its unmistakable two-tone paintwork was a staple in the squares of major Italian cities (such as Milan and Rome) throughout the 1960s.
Technical and Photographic Records: The volume features technical specifications, historical documentation, and period photographs tracing the car's evolution from its debut at the 1956 Brussels Motor Show to the end of its production cycle, cementing its current status as a highly sought-after collector's item.

112 pages. Text in Italian.
