Made in Italy Book
Pinar O.
Internationally awarded automotive photographer Piotr Degler launches his long-awaited new coffee-table book “Made in Italy,” an incredible art piece, and we are incredibly proud to be part of it with three of our cars. Ferrari Modulo, Ferrari 159S, and P4/5C.
The culmination of more than a decade of work portraying extraordinary Italian concept cars and iconic limited-edition models.
This is not just “another car book”, but it presents, in the "Masterpieces" section, 100 high-quality images with painstaking attention to detail. 80% of the photos have never been seen before, as they were shot exclusively for this book. The blend of images creates what the author calls “a visual experience”, never monotone, but trying to awaken emotions every time a page is turned. It is a mix between classic and modern cars, between concept and production cars, between studio and on-location shots... The goal was not to show the most important or significant models, something you could easily find on the internet, but to create visual pleasure through quality and exclusive photography.
To compile this book, Degler worked together with most Italian car museums, automotive companies, design centers, and car collectors in Italy and worldwide.
“If you create something, it needs to be something never seen before, ” Degler maintains. The total cost of this colossal project exceeds €100,000. Since the first shot was taken, more than ten years have passed. "Made in Italy" has texts in both English and Italian. It is also printed in Italy using the best materials. To make it even more personal, Degler Studio self-edited it: “I wanted to create something each car-, photography- or design-enthusiast could proudly display in his living room, sharing it with friends and enjoying it from time to time. Being a perfectionist, I prefer to self-publish my books so I can have total control of the project. It becomes a more personal and complete work. I can choose the best materials, have no restrictions on the number of images or pages, and can offer the best quality product, without profits in mind, unlike most publishers. This book represents my biggest and most important project.”
