Carlo Felice Trossi – Eroe incompiuto

Product description

Dedicated to Carlo Felice Trossi, known as Didi, this volume is the first comprehensive monograph on one of the most original and fascinating figures in Italian motorsport between the two World Wars. A driver, entrepreneur, patron, and designer, Trossi stood out for his unique style and visionary approach: from racing to design, from technical innovation to ventures in powerboating and aviation.

His taste for beauty and detail, his futurist flair, personal elegance, and driving skills made him a charismatic and unconventional figure. Enzo Ferrari remembered him as a man capable of making the impossible possible on the track and in life.

Published on the occasion of the Turin exhibition, the book brings together contributions from scholars and witnesses who reconstruct his path, offering an intimate and well documented portrait within the broader context of industry, sport, and culture of the time.
