        Anyone lucky enough to have had the chance to venture into a
ione    place where designs and models bearing witness to years and
e       years of work are carefully and lovingly stored away will be
 i ad   familiar with the nervous thrill of discovery that this experience
 lori   brings. The same emotion is evoked by this particular section
 ra,    of the Aste Bolaffi sale, where we are able to appreciate how
 della  various elements (sketches, carefully calculated technical
 di     drawings, with structural and mechanical dimensions, style
odelli  ideas and accurate color illustrations) together serve to evoke
 ,a     the effect that a future car will arouse. They are elements that
fani    speak a special language, one that conveys vision and the
        value of vision. This vision then takes on a material form, being
 i      translated into physical style models, in metal, resin or plaster,
che i   that, as in the case of the famous Miura, even go so far as to
 ano    simulate hood and door opening and closing systems. These
        models are meant to demonstrate the validity of the idea that is
        represented in the front, back, side and plan drawings. We are
        talking about what the leading coachbuilders, Bertone first and
        foremost, called blueprints.
