Fiat 1100 Utiletta Frasca
The Fiat 1100 Utiletta Frasca Ansaloni designed by Franco Scaglione.
Vehicle Overview
The Fiat 1100 Utiletta Frasca stands as a testament to the ingenuity of both its creator, Franco Scaglione, and the lesser-known Carrozzeria Ansaloni. Designed in 1952 during Scaglione’s brief independent period before his tenure at Carrozzeria Bertone, this “Giardinetta” utility wagon embodies the spirit of innovation prevalent in the automotive landscape of the early 1950s. Scaglione’s design for the Fiat 1100 Utiletta Frasca pays homage to the emerging trend of Giardinetta’s (Wagon) pioneered by Carrozzeria Viotti. However, it elevates the concept with distinctive elements that bear the unmistakable mark of Scaglione’s design language. Despite its utilitarian purpose, the Fiat 1100 Utiletta Frasca exudes elegance and sophistication. The clean lines and streamlined silhouette reflect Scaglione’s commitment to aerodynamic efficiency, a feature echoed in the negative-inclined front grille and the covered rear tires. While the Utiletta Frasca may have been a product of Scaglione’s brief independent period, it nevertheless showcases his trademark design elements and innovative approach to automotive design. Shortly after its unveiling, Scaglione joined Carrozzeria Bertone, marking the beginning of a legendary partnership in automotive design. In retrospect, the Utiletta Frasca serves as a testament to Scaglione’s versatility and his ability to infuse even the most utilitarian of vehicles with elegance and style. Its unique blend of practicality and aesthetic appeal remains a testament to the enduring legacy of one of Italy’s most visionary automotive designers.
