From horses to the engine
The steam carriage fashion is an immediate success and spreads quickly, thanks to orders from the most prestigious families of the era. The motorcar becomes the unquestionable symbol of the industrial age that characterised the end of the 19th Century.
In 1905, Castagna creates the legendary “Sparviero” for Queen Margherita of Savoy, on a Fiat 24HP chassis: a magnificent, highly accessorised, white double phaeton in which the Queen personally competes in one of the most important races of the time: the Susa-Moncenisio.
Castagna, with his own motorised creations, is present at one of the most important international trade fairs, and the old facility situated in via della Chiusa is totally refurbished in line with the new production requirements.
