Arturo, in front of us we have the new Aero 3, but Carrozzeria Touring has a great history, what is your first driving memory of the brand?
The first car I ever drove was an Alfa Romeo 1900 CSS Touring in silver grey, it was my fathers. I remember learning to drive it even before the legal driving age, on the roads around our family house in Civenna, on Lake Como.

RM Sotheby’s, in association with the Sotheby’s Fine Art Division, is thrilled to announce the offering of the Alfa Romeo Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica Concepts, a trio of extraordinary automotive sculptural designs at Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Evening Auction on 28 October, in New York City.
Produced by Bertone for the Turin auto salons in 1953, 1954 and 1955, these extraordinary Alfa Romeos are undoubtedly among the most historically significant motor cars in the world, offered from long-term ownership and for the first time ever as a united trio.
An unrepeatable opportunity, B.A.T. 5, 7, & 9, will be sold as a single lot and presented alongside highlights such as a Mark Rothko painting from 1958, masterpieces by Clyfford Still and Brice Marden from the Baltimore Museum of Art, as well as a spectacular Robert Ryman painting from 1980 which has resided in the Crex Collection since its acquisition from Konrad Fischer.
