This richly illustrated history of postwar Italy includes unpublished writings, period images, and drawings explaining Lancia\u2019s groundbreaking Aurelia, other cars, and their 1950s racing effort. Seven years in making, it includes new information from the extensive De Virgilio archive and the Lancia family.<\/p>\n<p>The book is both a personal and company biography, spanning from the beginning of De Virgilio&#8217;s career at Lancia in 1939 to his retirement in 1975, and includes consulting for Alfa Romeo in the 1980s. The personal and social story of life in post-war Italy is seen through both the De Virgilio and Lancia families, with many unique historic pictures, technical drawings and diagrams, and is a visually strong presentation. <\/p>\n<p>The book is priced at $99.95, 65\u00a3, and 80\u20ac. <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.lanciainfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Lancia-and-De-Virgilio-At-the-Center-5.20.14.pdf\">sample pages<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ORDERING THE BOOK The book is currently available at David Bull Publishing.
