Early on Thursday morning, Andrea Pininfarina — CEO of the famed Italian design studio Pininfarina –died in a road accident near the Italian city of Turin. The 51-year old executive was riding his Vespa scooter to the company’s design and R & D center when he was tragically hit and killed by a car.
Andrea Pininfarina took over as company CEO in 2001 and was appointed chairman in 2006. Andrea was the grandson of company founder Battista “Pinin” Pininfarina and is survived by his wife, two sons and daughter.
Our sincerest condolences go out to the Pininfarina family.
