  • RAPID Ceirano & C., Welleyes, F.Lli Ceirano
    RAPID Ceirano & C., Welleyes, F.lli Ceirano, STAR Rapid, Matteo C. & C., Itala, Ceirano-Ansaldo, SPA, Junior, SCAT, S.A.Giovanni Ceirano: sono undici aziende, accomunate da due denominatori, sono tutte nate a Torino e sono tutte sorte per iniziativa di uno o dell'altro dei fratelli Ceirano. Addentrarsi nelle vite e nelle frenetiche attività dei quattro fratelli, distinguendo l'apporto di ciascuno, non è facile. I Ceirano sono una famiglia piemontese, originaria di Cuneo, composta da padre, madre e quattro fratelli: Giovanni Battista, nato nel 1860, Giovanni, nato nel 1865, Matteo, il viveur della famiglia, di cinque anni più giovane, ed Ernesto, nato dopo altri cinque anni. A questi si aggiunge in un secondo tempo il figlio di Giovanni che, con una certa mancanza di fantasia, è battezzato Giovanni e chiamato Ernesto. Come si vede, ci sono già i presupposti per una bella confusione, anche a prescindere dai rispettivi caratteri, che sicuramente devono essere stati piuttosto determinati, per non dire litigiosi e testardi, anche perché uno dopo l'altro si consacrano al medesimo mestiere: fondare aziende automobilistiche. Fondare, per poi andarsene, o fonderle con altre, o scioglierle, o rilevarle, in un caleidoscopio di società che vivacizzarono ed arricchirono molto il panorama industriale torinese ed italiano. Il primo a muoversi è naturalmente Giovanni Battista, il più anziano. Fonda la Ceirano & C. nel 1898 e la Welleyes nel 1899; quindi nel 1901, insieme a Matteo, la F.lli Ceirano, in corso Vittorio Emanuele 9. Liquidata questa nel 1903, nel 1904 trasforma la Ceirano & C. in STAR, Società Torinese Automobili Rapid, oggetto di questa breve indagine.

  • San Salvario Il Quartiere Della Nascita Dell'auto a Torino
    San Salvario Il quartiere della nascita dell'auto a Torino A cura di Enrico Miletto, Fondazione Vera Nocentini e Donatella Sasso, Istituto di studi storici Gaetano Salvemini 1 Origini e topografia del quartiere Il quartiere deriva il proprio nome dalla chiesa di San Salvatore in Campagna (da qui la popolare denominazione di San Salvario), edificata da Amedeo di Castellamonte tra il 1646 e il 1653, per volontà della Madama Reale Cristina di Francia. Da un punto di vista topografico, l’area di San Salvario è delimitata dai corsi Massimo d’Azeglio, Vittorio Emanuele II, Bramante e dalla via Nizza. Il borgo vero e proprio inizia a prendere forma soltanto a partire dalla metà dell’Ottocento, quando sorgono i primi insediamenti urbani, attigui alla campagna circostante. Orti, giardini, campi e vivai definiscono la porzione di territorio che dalla strada reale di Nizza (l’attuale via Nizza) arriva fino al Valentino. 2 Porta Nuova e commercio 1848-1852 Viene inaugurato il primo tratto ferroviario che collega Torino a Moncalieri seguito, nel 1853, da quello con Genova. Lo sviluppo dello scalo ferroviario di Porta Nuova, la cui direttrice divide San Salvario dai vicini rioni della Crocetta e di San Secondo, favorisce la crescita nel quartiere di attività commerciali. Sorgono così botteghe e aziende artigianali che contribuiscono a disegnare un’immagine di un quartiere dai ritmi concitati, una piccola city, operosa e indaffarata, le cui strade, ricche di negozi e botteghe, sono percorse, a partire dalla seconda metà dell’Ottocento, da carri trainati da cavalli, tramways e carretti. San Salvario conta all’epoca 50 isolati, circa 200 abitazioni ed è sede di una delle 10 preture cittadine.
