Lorenzo has the good oil
New head of styling for Fiat Group worked on illustrious Pininfarina designsThe new head of styling for the Fiat Group, Lorenzo Ramaciotti, has an extensive background in design with the most famous Italian design studio and practically grew up with supercars.
Born in the northern Italian town of Modena -- a community with both Maserati and Ferrari connections -- Ramaciotti studied mechanical engineering at the Turin Polytechnic and commenced working in 1973 with famed design house, Pininfarina. He rose through the ranks to the post of CEO in 2002.

Ramaciotti's move from Pininfarina to the Fiat Group makes him ultimately accountable for the design of future Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia and Maserati models, all marques operating under the Fiat Group umbrella.
The appointment officially takes effect from 1 June and Ramaciotti will report directly to CEO of the Fiat Group, Sergio Marchionne.
