Finalmente!!!!

Finalmente ho tra le mani la pergamena della mia laurea 💙

Quello era il suo odore. Ben distinto dal profumo che usava, che forse, non avrei riconosciuto. Ma l’odore della sua pelle, quello l’avrei riconosciuto ovunque. Ero una pergamena, e il suo odore era inchiostro.

The 16th one: Italia 2000 by Vignale

This is the 16th Italia 2000 on sale published by us since we are online, probably because we have a soft spot for this car.

Having in fact fully restored a specimen ten years ago, we can say that we know it well enough even if there are certainly people who know more about it on the subject (check the Italia 2000 page on FB). This Italia 2000 seems painted in “Bianco Pergamena” (parchment),…

Socrates and his pupils. From the early-13th-century manuscript:

مختار الحكم ومحاسن الكلم   للمبشر بن فاتك

'Mukhtār al-ḥikam wa-maḥāsin al-kalim' (The Choicest true Sayings and the most beautiful Speeches)  by Al-Mubashshir ibn Fatik (born in Damascus, but lived mainly in Egypt during the 11th century Fatimid Caliphate).

The manuscript includes historical biographies and aphorisms of twenty-one "sages", mainly Greeks (Homer, Hippocrates, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras, Galen, Hermes, Alexander the Great, et alii). The biographies are largely legendary and most attributions highly dubious. The date of composition given by the author is 1048–1049 CE.

Parchment white: 1961 Italia 2000 by Vignale

We know this model well; having already fully restored an Italy 2000, this car has few secrets for us.

However, as often happens, even this car has its peculiarity that we have never seen before on an Italia 2000 (in this case we are talking about the Vignale body #180): the engine currently installed is not that of original equipment but a replacement made by the Triumph itself and, as a…
