I miei 40 anni di progettazione alla Fiat, published in 1979, is the first autobiography of Dante Giacosa. A second edition, revised and enlarged, appeared in 1988.

The author's professional history is so closely linked to that of Fiat, and on such a high level, that it has become the history of design at the Turin company itself, from 1928 to 1975.

In the pages of this book - which can be read with great curiosity and undoubted interest - all the personalities who gave a professional and human contribution to automobile development in those crucial years for the history of Italian industry pass by and stand.

Those were difficult and exciting years, in which the talent of the chiefs and designers blended harmoniously into teamwork, to produce cars that were more efficient, cheaper and more distinctively Italian.

These were the years of Topolino, Cisitalia and 1100 Mille Miglia, then 1400 and 1900, Nuova 1100, 600, Nuova 500, 8V, 1300-1500, 1800 and 2300, 124, 128, 127.

Dante Giacosa was the designer of all these models and founder of a real school of design, based on two components: genius and application. The newspapers often referred to him as "the father of Topolino": but his story was much richer, complete and interesting.

I miei 40 anni di progettazione alla Fiat fully renders the greatness of this designer, and is an essential reading for anyone interested in automotive history.
