1959 Turin Via Issiglio 40 Francesco Stola during the construction of the palace.What followed was a very important decade, characterized by the technical experience of the Stolas and their modellers reaching a peak of maturity. The modellers of that period were recognized by their customers, they had little competition for their extraordinary skill and speed of execution.
In the 1950s, from the workforce Carlo Bordone and Sante Sellan stood out. They became the two workshop managers, continuing in their roles until 1992, retiring after 42 years of extraordinary and tireless work.
It is important to remember that in those years all the models, bodywork, interiors, and engines, were made by hand, each form was derived from mathematical and trigonometric calculations.
