Ferrari Looks Back on Sergio Scaglietti after His Death on Nov. 20

 

Ferrari is mourning a major loss for the company. Designer Sergio Scaglietti died on November 20. 

"Today is a sad day for Ferrari. We lost a friend, a travel companion, a man who had his name forever connected to the Prancing Horse. Sergio Scaglietti leaves behind the legacy of an artist who with his talent created some of the most beautiful cars of our history. Who had the luck to know him like I did will also remember him as a straightforward and honest man, completely dedicated to his work. We will miss him,” said Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo.

Scaglietti designed the iconic 250 Testarosa, 250 GTO and 750 Monza. 

"He was one of my father's best friends. He was next to me with Marco Piccinini also the day my father died and stayed with me the whole night until the funeral. I loved him and he was a very important part of my life. The world is emptier without Sergio," said Piero Ferrari.

Ferrari bought Carrozzeria Scaglietti several years ago and use it to produce the aluminum for the F430 and eponymous 612 Scaglietti.
