#FrancoCornacchia

Italian Racing Driver. According to Carlo Felice Bianchi Anderloni: "Franco Cornacchia was the first, the most important Ferrari dealer in Italy. Cornacchia, who was rather heavy, had become a racing driver to promote the sale of Ferraris, but at one point he had had conflicts with Ferrari; maybe he wanted to show that he was an important person even without Ferrari, that he could have remained in the automotive world as dealer for other makes. He promoted these other makes, and I am almost sure that it was him to introduce us (Carrozzeria Touring -ndr) to Commendator Orsi and to be the “middle man”. 

 

We'll publish a biography on him on the occasion of his anniversary or when it will be reached a sufficient number of cars.
