In 1996, after the Stola Dedica took part as a guest in the Concorso d'Eleganza at Villa D'Este, Brovarone presented this original drawing which tells a concise summary of his career at Pininfarina and at Stola.
Among his many drawings, the three cars he designed are represented in it, namely the 1960 Ferrari 400 SA Superfast II and the 1965 Dino Berlinetta Speciale and the 1996 Stola Dedica.
