When we reflect upon the history of Italian coachbuilding and design, it is impossible to ignore the De Tomaso / Giugiaro Mangusta. It was stunning from every angle; in both art and engineering, it challenged and defined every aspect of motor car design in the mid-1960s while solving the problems associated with midengined design with beauty, grace, and authority. By the dictates of its creator, the Mangusta would be a race car for the street, its chassis based on a contemporary competition car. By the hand of one of the greatest automotive designers in Italy, it would be wide, low, sleek, and of perfect line. Ex-GM Designer Dick Ruzzin knows this well, as did others whose lives were devoted to automotive architecture. The Detroit doyens of design, William L. Mitchell at GM and Gene Bordinat at Ford, realized immediately that the Mangusta was one of the most advanced and beautiful cars in the world. Both ordered a specially tailored Mangusta for their personal use, and Mitchell had his equipped with a Chevy V8. Ruzzin has owned the ex-Mitchell Mangusta for the last forty-seven years. He spent years in Turin and interviewed many of those who still remembered how the Mangusta came to be created. Writing with passion, experience, and knowledge, Ruzzin has expertly authored the only book specifically about the design of the Mangusta. —Pete Vack, Editor and Publisher, VeloceToday.com, LLC ----- Reading about Dick Ruzzin's Mangusta reminds me of two of the most unforgettable characters I ever met. They are, of course, Alejandro de Tomaso and William L. Mitchell. Once known as Europe's most profligate creator of exotic sports and racing prototypes, Argentinean emigre de Tomaso had a phase of fondness for backbone-framed cars that gave birth to the Mangusta, magnificently styled by the young Giorgetto Giugiaro. The mercurial Alejandro finally made good as a car manufacturer—with a little help from the Italian government. A car enthusiast from his bald dome to his Bond Street shoes, Bill Mitchell arranged for GM Styling to buy the latest sports cars to help him persuade GM's often hidebound management that more exciting cars might be good for business. His Chevy-engined Mangusta was a perfect example. Ironically its successor in de Tomaso oeuvre was the Pantera, launched by Ford like an arrow at the heart of GM. Now Dick Ruzzin brings his own enthusiasm for great automobiles to this presentation of an esoteric example from the golden age of Italian sports cars, deeply informed on all aspects of the Mangusta as only a passionate owner can be. —Karl Ludvigsen

This book is one of few comprehensive, informative, and great-looking books about Ettore Bugatti & company, his, thinking, his patents, and the fascinating lifestory of the men behind The Bugatti marque from the old. Its new fresh perspective and format is very sought after I hope as well that it brings out new colors to the legendary old cars. The book ellaborates deeply on the inventor Ettore and the impact he made with his cars after his life and work. The leading stars the Type 35 and the 57 Atlantic gets a design review as it ought to be found in serious Bugatti literature.

Pier Luigi Celli, manager, docente universitario, saggista e scrittore torna a incantarci con i suoi racconti brevi. Il punto di partenza è sempre la realtà, vista con un occhio di solenne disincanto, di sorniona imparzialità: ecco manifestarsi, accanto alle chimere tipiche dell’uomo animale sociale (la carriera, la competizione, il successo), improvvisi ritorni a una natura più intima, quasi mitica, ancestrale. È un mondo in cui le relazioni sociali sono “inciampi” («Era inciampato in quell’uomo sulle scale, uscendo per andare al lavoro»); in cui la vita sembra fatta dei giorni che restano prima di una misteriosa incombente scadenza, come in una condanna alla rovescia. E in cui la sola via d’uscita sembra essere il porsi alla ricerca di una felicità necessaria, e adeguarvisi con fiducia, qualunque cosa essa sia. Lo sbocco delle vite narrate da Pier Luigi Celli è spesso estremo, inaspettato, il più delle volte surreale. Pier Luigi Celli (1942) è direttore generale dell’Università Luiss Guido Carli di Roma e presidente dell’Enit. È membro dei consigli di amministrazione di Illy, Unipol e Bat. Laureato in Sociologia all’Università di Trento, è stato responsabile della gestione, organizzazione e formazione delle risorse umane in grandi gruppi quali Eni, Rai, Omnitel, Olivetti ed Enel. Tra il 1998 e il 2001 è stato direttore generale della Rai. All’attivo ha oltre venti libri. Con Aliberti editore ha pubblicato Altri esercizi di pentimento (2008), Coraggio, Don Abbondio (2009), Come si maneggia il mondo (AlibertiCastelvecchi, 2009), I Capi (AlibertiCastelvecchi, 2011) e L’impresa vista dai perdenti (2011).

“Sometimes tough, sometimes tender, always heartfelt and honest, Bella Fortuna is a lively, finely-stitched tale of life and love, family and friendship, and a zest for cose Italiane!” —Peter Pezzelli, author of Home to Italy Valentina DeLuca has made hundreds of brides’ dreams come true. At Sposa Rosa, the Astoria, New York, boutique where she, her sisters, and their mother design and sew couture knock-off gowns, she can find the perfect style for even the most demanding customer. Now, it’s her turn. Valentina has loved Michael Carello ever since he rescued her from a cranky shopkeeper when she was ten years old. He’s handsome, chivalrous, and loyal. And in a few weeks, she’s going to marry him—in Venice. But just when she thinks everything is falling into place, Valentina is forced to re-examine her life to see what truly makes her happy. And as she soon learns, in a place as magical as Venice, what seems like misfortune can turn out to be anything but, although who knows what may be waiting around the next corner? The chance to enjoy a moonlit gondola ride, to sip Prosecco in St. Mark’s Square, to eat mouthwatering gelato, to put aside “sensible” for once and see where the warm Italian breezes guide her as she visits all the sights she’s dreamed of: The Doge’s Palace, Il Rialto, the little islands of Murano and Burano. And maybe, along the way, to discover that bella fortuna—good luck—isn’t what you’re given, but what you make. “Chiofalo brings the Italian immigrant community and neighborhoods richly to life.” —Publishers Weekly “Well-drawn characters . . . A charmer.” —BookPage

Ik heb nooit een leven gehad. Ik heb het niet over de vrijheid die je met geld kunt kopen, want die heb ik in overvloed. Ik heb het over de vrijheid die een meisje krijgt als ze opgroeit met vier overbezorgde Del Rossa-mannen... en dat is niets. Geen vrijheid om een sociaal leven te hebben. Geen vrijheid om uit te gaan. Mannen in deze stad weten wel beter dan mijn kant op te kijken. Ik ben eigendom van Het Genootschap, en iedereen weet dat je niet aanraakt wat van de Del Rossas is. Voor de broers ben ik het zusje dat ze nooit hebben gehad. Behalve voor Nicoli. Met hem is het anders. Als hij naar me kijkt, heb ik moeite met ademhalen. Als hij in mijn buurt is, ben ik een puinhoop op wankele benen. Maar Nicoli heeft duidelijk gemaakt dat het meisje waarmee hij is opgegroeid, een harde grens voor hem is. Ik ben de enige vrouw die hij nooit zal aanraken... Zelfs niet als ik hem erom smeek.
