may associate FIAT with diddy little buzz boxes, but FIAT is Italys largest company
and effectively the majority of Italys Automotive production. Brands under FIATS wing
include Alfa, Ferrari, Lancia, Autobianci and IVECO. Innovative design and production
methods have helped FIAT stay as one Europes largest manufactures since the turn of
the century. Il Lingotto
