The Perfect Circle

A young boy was inspired when an old guy, with only a piece of chalk, walked up to a chalkboard and drew a perfect circle. Over the years, he practiced what he saw and mastered it himself. Employed as a math teacher, he would routinely draw his circle for geometry lessons, and it gave him a great deal of satisfaction.

Filled with appreciation for his “talent,” a young girl complimented him on his ability, saying “You make such perfect circles so quickly! You are amazing!”

To which he responded honestly, “It took me 30 years to make that circle.”

Battista “Pinin” Farina, second youngest of a large Italian family, was inspired by the ingenuity of hard-working Americans in his youth when industrial America had integrity.


The sexy Allanté was designed and built by Pininfarina, Battista’s company in Italy

Very few cars in America have claim to such a rich history.
