Like his older brother, Emilio too has always worked within the company. He is the family artist and has, since his childhood, designed and built motorcars. While working, he attends the Brera academy, where he obtains a diploma in the visual arts. He has a real passion for fast vehicles and, in addition to loving motorcars, he also adores motorcycles, so much so that he becomes a patron, to the point of organising the first motorcycle gatherings in Milan.
Attention to the construction and specific training in the field of painting and sculpture make him a designer able to perfectly control the complex design of the motorcar: he is very cultured and gets inspiration for his creations from the precision and the proportions of the classical world.
A passion for the moving object that cuts through the air gives the lines created by his hand a total absence of stiffness and an unequalled level of definition: the shape of his motorcars is sinuous and smooth, neat but never flat. Absolute innovation.
Between 1929 and 1933, the most beautiful cars ever made are produced.
Amongst Emilio’s strengths is his search for the best patent solutions and for collaboration with the most renowned exponents of the time, such as that with French designer Jean Patou in the selection of textiles and colours, and that with German aerodynamic engineer Bergmann, which leads to the creation of numerous aerodynamic car bodies; a reminder of the first aerodynamic people-carrier vehicle in history, built for Count Ricotti in 1913, based on an Alfa Romeo 40/60 HP chassis.
