Moretti Motor Company was an Italian maker of motorcycles, small cars and commercial vehicles, founded in 1925 by Giovanni Moretti. Its Wikipedia article says it began with motorcycles and microcars, built electric small trucks and an electric car during the Second World War, and from 1946 made conventional cars such as the Cita, the 600 and the 750. From the late 1950s it switched to Fiat mechanicals and chassis, helped by the friendship between Giovanni Moretti and Gianni Agnelli, and made special-bodied coupes, spiders and small off-road cars on Fiat bases such as the Minimaxi and the Midimaxi. Production fell from 3,292 cars in 1973 to 1,071 in 1974, and the company ceased operations in December 1989.
