	NAUTICALweb - Isotta Fraschini, a return to pleasure sailing
		Isotta Fraschini, a Fincantieri company, had already worked for pleasure sailing in the past, but with objective difficulty in penetration of this commercial segment.
		Cost was therefore the element that more than any other led to Isotta Fraschini abandoning the pleasure craft segment, an obstacle that was not easy for the company to overcome as its commitments with the military and civil sector imposed qualitative standards which could not be ignored.
		Fabio Buzzi has totally backed the Isotta Fraschini cause and during a press conference at the Genoa Boat Show he expressed all his admiration for the engine that he used in its standard version for the Venice-Montecarlo, the 1,300 HP V 1312 T2MSD, with which he won.

		This was true for the Isotta Fraschini Company, and they were rewarded for their unique creations by continued success.
		Established as an automaker in 1902 by Cesare Isotta and the brothers Fraschini (Oreste, Vincenzo and Antonio), from around 1920 to the early 1930s Isottas were more popular in the United States than any other foreign marque except for Rolls-Royce.

		He designed engines for lightweight motorcycles while still in his teens and then took a job test-driving for Isotta Fraschini, one of the most honored marques of the era.
		But while he separated himself from Isotta, it wasn't too great a leap since the prime business of his garage in a rented space on Bologna's Via dé Pepoli was prepping and tuning road racing versions of Isotta Fraschini models for rakish Italian fops and the odd foreigner.
		It was a daunting time to start a business since it almost perfectly coincided with the outbreak of World War I, but Alfieri was a businessman who took opportunity when he saw it, and he quickly opened a sparkplug factory in Milan to capitalize on wartime demand for motor vehicles.

		Expensive and luxurious, the Isotta Fraschini was a true Italian thoroughbred, regarded as highly as—and considerably more unusual than—Rolls-Royce.
		The Tipo 8A was powerful and refined; its 7.3-liter straight-eight engine was the first production powerplant to use an overhead-valve design, and the SS developed almost 160 hp and topped 100 mph—prodigious performance for its day.
		Isotta Fraschini ceased its auto-building operations in the mid-1930s after constructing approximately 950 Tipo 8As of all varieties.

		To the delight of coachbuiders, the Isotta Fraschini’s straight eight engine dictated the most distinctive feature of the car — a long hood and cowl.
		The sweeping expanse of metal over the motor compartment allowed bodies to be built with more pleasing proportions, including an extended beltline and fenders that flowed behind jewel like Grebel headlights.
		The appeal of Isotta Fraschini silhouette was so great that the Tipo 8A was imitated stylistically well into the 1930’s as autobuilders fitted long hoods to cars equipped with comparatively stubby V-8 engines.
