One of the central tenets of Automobili Pininfarina is an appreciation of the natural world, its myriad forms and materials, and how a car like Battista sits within that landscape. The famous marble quarries of Piedmont perfectly exemplify this delicate symbiosis, revealing how traditional Italian design so often reflects the collaboration between human and nature, and the enduring beauty and luxury of precious materials, carefully selected, skilfully honed. In the heart of the Apuan Alps, Italian marble has been mined for thousands of years. Famed for its purity and durability, it has been used to build many of the world’s most treasured monuments, from the Pantheon in ancient Rome, through the Tower of Pisa to Michelangelo’s Renaissance masterpiece ‘David’.
