This book draws on an extraordinary archive of beautiful images, the work of Walter Breveglieri, the famous Bolognese photographer. Breveglieri was renowned in Italy for his work with film and sports stars, but his great passion was motor racing. As an amateur racing driver, he became friends with the Maserati brothers - Ernesto, Ettore and Bindo - and developed enormous loyalty to their marque OSCA (Officine Specializzate Costruzione Automobili), not only competing in OSCA racing cars but also recording the life of the factory and the charismatic machinery it produced. Founded by the Maserati brothers in Bologna in 1947, the same year as the birth of Ferrari in nearby Maranello, OSCA built exquisitely engineered cars, mostly with small-capacity engines, until 1967. Nowadays these little jewels, raced by names like Stirling Moss and Maria Teresa de Filippis, have a dedicated following of car connoisseurs for whom this book will be a treasure trove of evocative imagery.
Carlo Cavicchi (born 1947) is a celebrated Italian journalist who has been director of weekly magazines Autosprint (1984-99) and SportAutoMoto (2001-08), and the monthly Quattroruote (2010-14). The winner of numerous journalistic awards, he was a member of the Car of the Year jury for 23 years and sat on the Car of the Century world jury in Las Vegas in 1999. His books include Senna Vero ('The True Senna'), co-written with the great Brazilian ace in 1992 and published in numerous editions. After Senna's death at Imola in 1994, he campaigned through Autosprint to establish the true cause of the accident.
Walter Breveglieri (1921-2000) was a Bologna-based photographer who recorded the life of the city as well covering sport and the film world. Through his occasional exploits as a racing driver, including with an OSCA, he became friendly with the Maserati brothers and regularly photographed their post-war endeavours, amassing over 2,500 images, few of which had been published before the release of this book, first in Italian and now in English
