The story of an institution is primarily represented by a succession of people, ideas , norms and behaviors. But not secondary, indeed necessary, appears more and more to the study of the corollary of means , objects and tools that have made possible the daily commitment of all the people who have worked in practice for that institution . In the specific case of one of these tools , the car - as can be seen in the careful research that is now published - has two peculiarities : it is an object of use , as it allows the movement in safety the Head of State in carried out its tasks, and at the same time is , as a product of man, the time evolution of the uses and customs of a country. Vintage car - and in particular an automobile exposed on the front line and under the eyes of all as the car used by the President of the Republic - certainly represents a set of technologies , but also of taste and style that makes it something more than a mere object , a testament to the historical period in which it was used. The tastes can change and today may appear dated or otherwise passed a car in use many decades ago, but the fine workmanship and artistic technique that characterizes many of these cars make them all sign of prestige that the industrial capacity and Italian craftsmanship gained in history. The image of a country is also the image of the things we know how to produce . The detailed analysis , which aims, not only of the technical characteristics , but also of the background and the little secrets that have helped to make unique items each and every car presidential choices along with the greatest simplicity , safety and elegance, is certainly a valuable contribution to a study of the history of this institution , even in far less known aspects.
