The chairman of the legendary design house Pininfarina (now bought by India's Mahindra), Paolo Pininfarina, died today (9/4), aged 65, after a long illness.
Its name was inextricably linked to style in transport, since, in addition to some of the most important and beautiful models of global motoring, the house also designed the tram lines of the Greek capital - something that is written on them as an "honorary title".
Paolo Pininfarina, son of Italian senator Sergio Pininfarina and grandson of the founder, Battista Pinin-Farina took the helm of the historic design house in 2008. She was preceded by the tragic death of his brother, Andrea, in a car accident in Turin with a Vespa.
Turin is the city where Paolo Pininfarina was born – but also died – who had served as Program Manager at General Motors and participated in the Scientific Committee of the European Institute of Design in Turin.
He was awarded "Italian Personality of the Year" by France in 2011 for his contribution to the success of the Autolib "Electric Car sharing" program for the city of Paris, as well as being vice president of ASI (Automotoclub Storico Italiano) until 2023.
