Borrani is a brand of absolute Italian excellence, internationally recognised by those who love historic cars and Made in Italy quality.
Even though it is an accessory, it has decisive for the world of racing and for high-performance prestige cars, an indispensable combination that has enabled otherwise unthinkable goals to be achieved.
100 anni Borrani. Una storia lunga un secolo celebrates 100 years of activity in the automotive business, but goes beyond the concept of a commemorative volume.
The intent of this book is to provide a tool to help clarify aspects of Borrani's genuine products over the years and all the inevitable evolutions that have taken place.
A brief history of the company is included to help understand the various name changes and how they have affected the brand, logo and corporate identity over time.
All the information included is supported by documents kept in the company archives. This indisputable proof includes original drawings, signed and approved documents by carmakers, correspondence, original pictures and so on.
Like any other company with such a long history in the automotive business, the fields in which Borrani has operated are many: certainly the automotive wire wheel market is the most famous and exciting, but it has also worked in the aircraft industry (until 1943) designing brake and hydraulic systems, shocks, fuel pumps and of course wheels.
Today, Ruote Borrani-Milano maintains the unique legacy of Carlo Borrani, its founder, and with this publication wants to offer readers the opportunity to get to know and understand its reality and history.
