It's been a bad week for Italy, first an uncharacteristic loss to Spain in soccer and now the death of legendary - and I mean legendary - automobile designer Sergio Pininfarina.
For those of you into cars, Pininfarina immediately invokes pure design genius. He is, of course, widely reknowned for his work with the iconic Ferrari - the greatest symbol of Italian engineering and design in the post-war era.
He indeed was a maestro (much like Zagato) giving his part to orchestrating Italy's economic and artistic spirit.
When my father purchased the 164 Alfa-Romeo it proudly came with the Pininfarina design logo.
