    Bologna - Raticosa quei 603 tornanti a tutta birra contro il tempo e prime edizioni della Bologna Raticosa si tennero negli anni L1926 e 1939, e in seguito, dal 1950 al 1954 e il percorso di 42 chilo- metri dal ponte di San Ruffillo, alle porte di Bologna, fino al passo della Raticosa faceva si’ che per lunghezza fosse la seconda gara in salita in Europa dopo la Parma - Poggio di Berceto. Dopo una interruzione di 8 anni la gara riprese nel 1962 con il percorso accorciato di circa 10 chilometri rispetto all’originale con la partenza davanti all’hotel Posta di Pianoro Vecchio. Nel 1969 dopo gli epici duelli tra gli specialisti dell’epoca la corsa fu defi- nitivamente sospesa. Dal 2001 grazie all’impegno di Francesco Amante e di un gruppo di amici le auto storiche hanno ripreso a gareggiare sul tratto Pianoro Vecchio – Livergnano di 6 chilometri. A partire dalla gara 2007, il percorso ha validità per il Campionato Italiano Velocità in salita.

  • The Lost Bugatti
    BUGATTI DIATTO AVIO 8C WORDS CLAUDE TEISEN-SIMONY & DAVID LILLYWHITE ARCHIVE PICTURES BUGATTI TRUST A mysterious chassis fitted with a one-off Bugatti aero engine, discovered in a Turin museum, turns out to have links to a famous pilot and to Maserati’s first car. But could it also have been the first step towards the super-luxury Bugatti Royale saloon? The lost Bugatti 90 / MAGNETO MAGNETO / 91 BUGATTI DIATTO AVIO 8C T This is one hell of a tale. It’s controversial at times, it brings in threads involving World War One fighter pilot Roland Garros, surprising links to Maserati, and the likely origins of not just Bugatti’s Grand Prix engines, but also the legendary Bugatti Royale. Most exciting of all, it introduces a remarkable aero-engined Bugatti that’s never been seen before. To whet your appetite, it’s a 14.5-litre and develops 250bhp at 2160rpm – Bugatti’s equivalent of the ‘Beast of Turin’ Fiat or the Benz-engined Scariscrow. Crucially, a large proportion of it is original, rescued from decades in hiding by a legendary Bugatti expert before moving on to its current owner. It’s been painstakingly researched, restored and part-recreated in secret by craftsmen in Denmark and the Czech Republic. To all but a select few, its existence remained unknown until its big reveal at the Rétromobile show in Paris on February 6. So, how did we get to this point? Let’s start with the engine, because actually it’s more important than the car itself in many ways. The story begins with French pilot Roland Garros, who in 1913 made the first-ever non-stop flight across the Mediterranean, flying a fast Morane-Saulnier monoplane.

  • La Storia Del Logo Diatto
    La storia del logo Diatto Diatto Nazione Italia Tipologia SpA Fondazione 1905 a Torino Chiusura 1932 Settore Casa automobilistica Prodotti Automobili Diatto è una casa automobilistica italiana fondata nel 1905 dai fratelli Pietro e Vittorio Diatto, specializzata in automobili sportive e di lusso. Fu in attività sino al 1932 Storia La ditta torinese aveva origini più antiche: era stata infatti fondata nel 1835 da Guglielmo Diatto come fabbrica di carrozze. Grazie agli antichi natali, è accreditata come una delle case più vecchie al mondo tra i precursori dell'automobile, di vetture sportive e di lusso. Guglielmo Diatto brevettò nel 1838 una "ruota perfezionata" della quale il Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile di Torino conserva documentazione; più avanti l'azienda diventò Ditta Ing. Diatto, Fonderie Officine Meccaniche Costruzioni in ferro e allargò la produzione ai vagoni ferroviari e tranviari con l'avvento all'amministrazione dei figli del capostipite Giovanni e Battista. La Diatto divenne così fornitrice di grandi società ferroviarie e tranviarie, come la "Società per le Strade Ferrate del Mediterraneo", la "Società Nazionale di Ferrovie e Tramvie di Roma", la "Compagnie des Wagons Lits et des Grands Express Européens - TEE Trans Europe-Orient Express" di Parigi, il treno più lussuoso al mondo dell'epoca e la "Tramvia Elettrica Torino-Rivoli" (siamo tra la metà dell'Ottocento e i primi del Novecento). I due fratelli Diatto erano da sempre amanti delle automobili, e pare proprio che sia stata un'automobile non proprio perfetta a portarli a fondare loro stessi una casa automobilistica; suscitò infatti molto scalpore l'acquisto di un modello Ceirano che li lasciò del tutto insoddisfatti, ne nacque una controversia al termine della quale la Ceirano dovette riprendersi l'auto restituendo l'intero importo agli acquirenti.

  • EMILIO PUGNO” CGIL Regionale Del Piemonte Camera Del Lavoro Di Torino FIOM CGIL Del Piemonte
    1 ASSOCIAZIONE “EMILIO PUGNO” CGIL Regionale del Piemonte Camera del Lavoro di Torino FIOM CGIL del Piemonte Il racconto della memoria Storia della SCA a cura di Ruggero Pugno Dopo la fase decisiva di crescita degli anni ’60, il Sindacato si rinnova nei Consigli. Ma nei Consigli stessi, e, a maggior ragione, nelle strutture esterne ai luoghi di lavoro, la CGIL, e il Sindacato nella sua fase unitaria, rimane strutturalmente ambiguo. A Torino, un nucleo dirigente fondamentale attraversa queste contraddizioni mantenendo a lungo un equilibrio organizzativo e politico di forte carattere progressivo …… il cui fondamento è il potere contrattuale sui luoghi di lavoro ed una estensione dell’intervento del movimento sindacale sui temi delle riforme sociali e della programmazione economica…… su un indirizzo strategico nel quale lo sviluppo del potere contrattuale si associ, si integri con la politica delle riforme, il cui successo è legato precisamente a questa associazione e integrazione Sergio Garavini 2 Questo libro è dedicato: all’amico Michele Giannatempo, all’amico Valentino Formaggi, all’amico Franco Isnardi, ad Alessandro Tarzariol, al Signor Oddone e alla Signora Oddone Un ringraziamento a quelli che hanno contribuito e creduto alla sua realizzazione ed uno in particolare all’amico e storico Donato Antoniello 3 PREFAZIONE Il lavoro del disegnatore tecnico di carrozzeria è un’attività che nasce e si costruisce con una buona dose di perseveranza e di volontà. Deve piacere; poiché è molto selettivo ti può far stare al palo o diventare un progettista. Non esiste una laurea per il progettista di carrozzeria, esiste quella da ingegnere di meccanica, motorista, aeronautica, architettura, per cui, in carrozzeria, ti devi creare il mestiere e perfezionarlo sempre più da solo.

So, the show, which has become the most important in Italy - will be opening with 16 international brands, the cars that have made history and those that will do so in the future. The national previews and new products from Alfa Romeo, Abarth, Audi, Citroën, DS, Maserati, Land Rover, Jaguar, Mercedes, Pagani, Porsche, Tesla, Volkswagen and Volvo will be alongside vintage models that have marked the evolution and created the legend of each car manufacturer.

  • EN6.Torino Capitale Mondiale Dell'automobile
    TORINO THE CAPITAL: FIRST THE CAPITAL OF ITALY IN 1861 THEN THE CAPITAL CITY FOR ITALIAN AUTOMOBILES Automobiles have been for Torino both the driving force and the catalyst for Piedmont’s industrialization since the beginning of the XX century. People talented in style, craft and with entrepreneurial skills have created in Torino and Piedmont a cultural system linked to the automotive industry, overcoming production and becoming a c ultural and social phenomenon . Nowadays Piedmont’s capital city is still the place where groups of excellence from the car sector are located, developed in these years above all in the domain of training , planning and design : the IAAD (Istituto d’Arte Applicata e del Design), the IED (Istituto Europeo del Design) and the Facoltà di Disegno Industriale e di Ingegneria dell’Autoveicolo at Torino’s Polytechnic deal with the training of a new creative generation, allowing the Italian car industry to preserve its avant-garde tradition, paying careful attention to environmental sustainability. Last century’s Torino was a craftsmen city full of mechanics and coachbuilders, which then became the Italian birthplace of the new “technology prodigy” called the automobile. Torino is the playground for new companies: spawning the first 1898 Italian Automobile club, the Italian School for mechanics and drivers and the first Italian magazine almost exclusively dealing with motoring (“L’Automobile”). Originally from Torino, Ernestina Prola, was the first Italian woman to pass her driving test, and in the capital of Piedmont the first car exhibition took place, evolving into the Salone dell’automobile, in the XX century. Both creators of the two totally Italian produced cars were from Torino: Virginio Bordino (1854) and Michele Lanza (1895).
