The Great Spadolini – Dance, Art & Espionage

The Spy with License to Dance โ€ฆ and Paint!

This isnโ€™t a fictional book by Ian Fleming, nor an imaginary film about the worldโ€™s most famous secret agent.

The โ€œJames Bondโ€ weโ€™re talking about here is Italian, and his name is Alberto Spadolini (1907 โ€“ 1972).

He was sexy and daring like 007, surrounded by fascinating women and celebrities of the international jet set, continually moving between different milieux โ€“ showbiz, politics, sophisticated circles, and war scenarios.

The only difference is โ€“ he was real.

Painting Bizzarrini into Automobile History

By on • ( 1 Comment )

I had never seen a car so wanton, so rakish, almost obscene. It was like a streetwalker in 8-in high heels. What amazed me then was that it had a Chevy V8 as an engine, iron block, pushrod. Detroit crudity in an exotic. I forgot poetry and instantly became a car guy.

A couple years later I was writing car ads in Detroit and a boss mentioned an obscure Italian car was down at a Corvette shop; I might want to take a look at it.

It was a Bizzarrini Targa.

Now,ย in 2022, Iโ€™d say itโ€™s worth what โ€” 2ย  toย  3 million?ย Give or take.
