Sao Paolo 'Giugiaro – 45 Years of Italian Design' exhibition announced

The ‘Giugiaro – 45 years of Italian Design' exhibition will be held at the Sao Paolo Museu da Casa Brasileira.

The show, held from 7 February until 31 March, highlights the significance of Giorgetto and Fabrizio Giugiaro's work for the Italian design identity.

The Museu da Casa Brasileira, which gives the most important design award in Brazil, will use five rooms to display exhibits ranging from car designs and concepts – the Aztec and Structura – to production models including the Volkswagen Golf Mk 1. Another room will be dedicated to car photography by Helmut Newton and Wayne Maser.

With Italdesign Giugiaro's automotive design director being Brazilian Raul Pires, the exhibition is expected to drum up a lot of interest from the market that is seen as the next big thing in terms of car sales.

We'll be at the exhibition to bring you everything it has to offer, so watch this space.
