I have seen pictures of the Nardi car but new little of it’s history. Watching your video I was thinking about how it would feel to have a Jaguar D type thunder past only for you to explain how a D type would cause its downfall ! Another interesting and informative video . Thank you !
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately the Annex C in the regulation finished the car off with the final blow and Hawthorn was only the trigger in the crash. It could be anybody else driving a big car in the curve and the bisiluro 'll have flow out very same.
A very interesting and deep report. As an architect, I've owned a book about the heroically eccentric Mollino since the 1980s but this is the first time the car has been explained and the first time I have seen moving pictures of it in action .... good work. I think purely because Carlo M's work was so varied, he is often overlooked here in England - especially because he took erotic photos ... but his work was very new and different and serious and important. It is typical that what is now thought of as political incorrectness keeps his buildings out of the spotlight ... and not just the saucy photos, architects pretend to hate cars as well now (even if most of them drive them .... shhhhh.)
Thanks for watching. If you have the chance to find "The message of the darkroom" by Carlo Mollino and "Arabeschi" buy them because they worth the price.
@@TheTurinautomotivehistorian Yes, thanks, I shall have a look for those, There isn't much on-line about Mollino at least few videos on TH-cam ..... are you an architecture historian too, could you become one?
@@MrVorpalsword No, i'm not, but i'm the tutor of the Riccardo Moncalvo's archive who, as a photographer, was connected with Mollino closely. Also Moncalvo's son, as an architectural professor, catalogued the Mollino's archive.
@@TheTurinautomotivehistorian then you are well placed to make the film. Or possibly the book. I don't know if you saw the ridiculous prices that they advertise on line for those books you recommended btw. ? The photographs may be of great importance given how few buildings are left and how few photographs of those buildings seem to be published, an album may be very significant, I'm thinking mainly of the Equestrian Club, I have only ever seen tantalising glimpses through photo montages presumably cut and pasted by Carlo? If you fancy putting something together, I would be pleased to be involved but I'm just an architect in Northern England (though I too tutored at various universities). One note ... camera obscura in the meaning of 'pin-hole camera' doesn't translate into English easily, because a pin-hole camera usually refers to a cardboard box, darkroom is another kind of room used by a photographer to develop his film - so we would probably better employ the italian camera obscura. I used to always start my perspective lectures by asking my students what Italians call a 'room', and then try to show them how it works, the concave mirror is easier to use .... the optics of architectural drawing and their misinterpretation* are of particular interest to me, architects rarely understand them well. One misinterpretation of linear perspective and how it isn't the complete 'truth' is in the V.A.R system used to detect offsides in football. All the best, Colin
@@MrVorpalsword I can't do both, there other people in Turin entrusted and skilled to do them. Yes, the book prices are unbelievable....The photo montages were created by Moncalvo. If you like to see some images of the Equestrian club, i can send you them by e-mail.
a sad footnote, Mike Hawthorn was involved in an immense disaster later that day, I think he caused Levegh to swerve, die and kill many spectators with his flying car. It was probably of some relief that the Turin boys avoided that tragedy, and interesting to hear that their car had an accident caused by the same Jag. Hawthorn crashed and died on an English Autostrada a couple of years later and that accident is interpreted by some as a suicide because of what had happened at the 24hrs of Le Mans ....... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1955_Le_Mans_disaster
I'd like to thank everyone because with this video the channel has reached the number of 100 subscribers !!😃
Thank you - what a fascinating story👍

Yes, i didn't mention the disaster deliberately because it was already the topic in other videos.
