The impressive hood ornament of a 1925 Fiat 501 Torpedo.
On the sphere we can read “Carrozzeria Garavini” (Garavini coachbuilder).
This vintage car, with many other of the kind, was on display in Piazza della Repubblica last Sunday.

That is interesting. The hood ornament is intricate, but the car itself seems relatively simple.
Back in the 1930s Fiat made some wonderful cars. The hood ornament is amazing. Good photos and post.
I think it's a handsome old car, and the hood ornament is just gorgeous!
Go ahead, take it for a spin.
Wow, what a gem, it's a piece of art!
God bless you!

How very cool! Great images. :) Love that hood ornament. We don't have one out here on our little ship, except when someone goes out there on the bow and does that Titanic thing. ;)
Thank you VP. These are great!
Wow, this ornament is magnificent!
Those were the days, with ornate impressive hood ornaments.
I assume the owner keeps a close watch on it.
Now at least I know why I love Italian cars! ;-)
Unique and beautiful images!
Thanks for sharing.
(Yes, I LOVE our Fiat 500.:)
Wow. That is a beauty.
Love the details. Fantastic compositions, VP!
