    Sergio Pininfarina passed away yesterday night at his house at the age of 86, he was ill since a long time
    The "made in Italy" loses another one of its great protagonists.
    Farewell to a giant.

    Ciao

    He was one of the last of the great Italian coachbuilders of the 50s, 60s, 70s, when Italian design ruled the world.

    What a legacy!

    Addio Sergio Pininfarina!

    RIP Mr. Pininfarina.

    Met him once when he gave a talk on automotive design.
    A true class act and a gentleman.

    Very sad day. It's hard to find that kind of dedication and craftsmanship today, let alone people willing to put in the time to learn the craft. I remember a while back the company was in trouble. What ever happened with that and are they still collaborating with Ferrari?
