    Marcello Gandini Lancia Stratos

    “La macchina da rally non ha bisogno di essere bella, ma se non avesse vinto sarebbe rimasto almeno il bello.” [cit.] MARCELLO GANDINI

    Marcello Gandini was one the most famous, talented and visionary car designers. He was known for the masterpieces he created for Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo and Lancia.
    For Lamborghini he designed some of the most beautiful, iconic and futuristic sports cars of the period, such as the Lamborghini Miura(1966), the Lamborghini Countach(1971) and the Lamborghini Diablo(1985).
    Presented in 1966 at the Geneva Motor show, the Lamborghini Miura was the fastest road car of the period with his 3.9 12V engine, 350 HP, five speed and the first supercar with the engine at the mid-rear position behind the driver’s seat. The Miura became famous even for the detail of the beautiful black eyelashes around the headlights.

    The first time I ever saw a pair of JOSEF BAYER’s wheels was summer 2012 at the Favorit Velodrome in Brno. They were a 3-spoke and a disc wheel. They were all black and aggressive looking, but they had a small green symbol on them, very speedy, very romantic. They made a strong impression on me and I asked the man responsible for the Velodrome about them. 
    He replied by telling me about a certain JOSEF BAYER, builder of fantastic rims from the south of Moravia, but beyond that he knew little. The more I thought about it the more I realised that I needed to find this Mr. JOSEF BAYER, even if nobody knew how to help me, nobody had an address or contact.

    Munich 1972 Otl Aicher

    The Olympische Sommerspiele 1972 were the first Olympic Games I could watch at the television. It was an important edition, not only for the incredible quality of the visualdesign created by OTL AICHER and his team Dept.XI, for the futuristic architecture of the Olympiapark designed by OTTO FREI, it was very important for the development and the modern urbanisation of the city of München, at that time, a city suffering the effects and post-effects of WWII.

    Col de Madone

    «Le col le plus difficile était le Col de La Madone, qui surplombait la ville et était réputé pour ses douze kilomètres particulièrement raides. La Madone, trop pénible pour être tentée tous les jours, était parfaite pour tester sa condition. La plupart des coureurs la faisaient une ou deux fois par saison. Je l’ai faite une fois par mois».

    1972 Olympic games

    Olympic games are not always an athletic festival.
    In 1972 during the Olympische Sommerspiele 1972, eight Palestinian criminals, members of the terrorist group Black September, took eleven hostages, all members of the Israeli Olympic Team and killed them. One hostage was castrated and abused after he was shot!
    Take a moment and remember!
