From its birth, following it throughout its greatest exponents as well as observing its greatest and first creations. All this has been done so as to understand its concepts as well as how the Italian automotive industry came forth from the Italy of the XX century. In addition, all this investigation is carried out so as to identify the certain situations throughout the passing of the years so as to give reason or example of how to develop a brand name, and so to state that Ecuador, not having one, by building one, would benefit greatly, not only for its people but as a country. INTRODUCTION The subject matter researched in this monographic work is a collection of information which the author has collected in order to present a clear picture of the creation of the first automobiles both designed and built in Italy while at the same time, explores the marks made by such during the beginning portion of the 20th century as well as its development in said time. In addition, the author condensed a follow up on the technical advances of these cars. The author hopes to prove the importance of the subject and shed some light on the various factors which contributed to their turning a profit and to carry onto present the entire scope of the maximum potential regarding the Italian automotive industry. Finalizing in the crux of the present study, evidencing how a country such as Ecuador could benefit by modeling itself after this example so as to create, develop and promote its own automobile industry. In order to justify the study presented in this research study. The author took into consideration aspects such as techniques, processes, characteristics or structure which he believes Ecuador should take into consideration so as to base themselves in order to create its own national brand from zero, remaining realistic within the project limits. It also taking into account an efficient and productive modal so that, after the reader has become aware of all the facts, the best decision must be made. As can be found within the "Analysis of the Italian automobile industry" thesis from the University of Seville, one of many studies show evidence by targeting the Italian automobile industry annually. There is evidence of the origins of the automobile in Italy as well as its social and economic impact before and after the World War. It also offers more insight on everything around the automotive industry and what it brought to Italy because of it. http://bibing.us.es/proyectos/abreproy/5465/fichero/PFC+Jos%C3%A9+Ignacio+Gal%C3 %A1n+Calle.pdf+ What would the problem of having a national brand be? The angle best approached should be our asking ourselves ‘How would having our own stable and efficient national brand benefit Ecuador?’ First, it suggests there would be a decrease in imports, because taxes are very expensive for a large part of the population of Ecuador. With the distribution of a national brand aimed to cater to the social classes would be dynamic towards the country’s economy, bringing with it a nice source of income and more importantly, providing steady work to may.. It should be noted that a new industry as the automaker would draw many more benefits, an example would be find itself obligated in acquiring new technologies necessary for the construction of cars. In short Ecuador would benefit from a wide range of improvements in areas such as social, economic and technological. In the first chapter, the author will speak of the origins of automobile created in Italy followed by information about the most important and representative brands as well as the founders of these brands. In the second chapter will focus on some of the first designs for such marks as well as the development and technological advances of the Italian truck. Finally, in the last chapter the author will present an overview of the present Ecuadorian automotive industry then offer a hypothetical national trade mark combined with the aspects of the Italian automotive world which he believes should be incorporated as a model in this hypothetical project. CHAPTER I Italian History and traditions It is a fact that Italy is one of the most important countries around the world for its history and contributions to humanity, and the automotive area is no exception. The Italian automobile in relation to other European countries, has its beginning which are much more ancient. To the Italians, the car has been a symbol of identity, a reflection of its personality and of the passion which flows throw their blood with its obsession for perfection, elegance and design. This sum combined brought about the formation of first companies as the basis of the Italian automobile industry. These began as small family projects, hand built and based on their own patents. These projects took flight at the end of the 19th century, then consolidated and began to grow. “No one remembers who took second place and that will never be me.” (Ferrari, sf.) Origins of the Italian automobile-car If we talk about the origin of the automobile in Italy, should go back to the year 1899 of July 11 when the joint-stock company "Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili - Torino", called fiat and founded by Giovanni Agnelli, Ludovico Scarfiotti, Emanuele Cacherano di Bricherasio, Michele Ceriana, Alfonso Ferrero di Ventimiglia, Cesare Goria Gatti, Roberto Biscaretti di Ruffia, Carlo Racca, Luigi Damevino and up to 30 more shareholders had their first vehicle construction. The first car of the Fiat brand was named 4 HP, and produced a total of 24 vehicles in that year. The small car was the first car officially made by an Italian brand and of course, this little car’s beginnings has a tale that goes with it and is retold to this day. It must be duly noted that besides its contribution to the automotive industry in general, the production of such has always turned a profit which has aided Italy, especially in the economic and social areas. Thousands of jobs have been created and it has provided and made available a new service to all Italians. These changes were a tremendous step forward for the entire country in those times. Although history might have been a little different, even if it is true that Fiat was the first to officially build an Italian car (4 HP), it was not the first to design it. That’s why is impossible to talk about the origins of Italians cars and don’t talk about the Ceirano brothers “This car was a real source of history, as well as being unique because it was built by the inventors of Italian cars, way before Fiat. “ (Alessandro, 2013 ) The Ceirano brothers The Ceirano brothers were four smart brothers with an incredibly history of Italian cars.
