Description from the seller
Titania 1 (1966)
Franco Scaglione's Lost Masterpiece
The Titania prototype was presented at the 1st Salon of Competition Cars, at the National Automobile Museum in Turin, in 1966. The only person to photograph it in the presence of Scaglione himself was Franco Turcati. Built on Opel 1900 mechanicals, the Titania disappeared without a trace shortly after the end of the Show, leaving no trace.
Subsequently, Franco Scaglione brought to life masterpieces such as the iconic Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale and Intermeccanica's cars, cementing his status as a leading automotive designer.

Conservation advice for works
For optimal preservation of your Fine Art print:
Our Fine Art prints deserve special care to preserve their quality over time, preventing yellowing or fading.
It is recommended to always handle them with clean, dry cotton gloves.
In case of framing, use a mat to prevent direct contact between the print and the glass.
Keep the prints protected from direct light. The materials of storage boxes are also essential: cartons containing lignin or with an acidic pH can damage the print support and promote yellowing.
