Following the untimely death of Pininfarina CEO and chairman Andrea Pininfarina last week, the future of the famed Italian design firm hung in the balance. But the still family-owned company looks like it is back on track as Pininfarina has named a new chairman.
Paolo Pininfarina, Andrea’s brother, will take over as company chairman. Pininfarina has yet to name a new CEO.
Andrea’s death couldn’t have come at a worse time for Pininfarina as the design firm is in the midst of a major restructuring operation. Hopefully the naming of a new chairman will help Pininfarina — both the company and family — move forward.

Hopefully he doesn’t ride a Vespa.

I think Vespa Pininfarina is Paulo’s illegitimate brother, so I really hope he isn’t riding him.

Best of luck to Paolo — it’s a tough time to be taking over the reigns of a company, especially one that’s in trouble and grieving the loss of its former CEO.

If he’s gonna ride a bike… at least make it a Ducatti or something.

I sure hope this one isn’t a pedophile like his dead brother was…
