Carrozzeria Savio

Carrozzeria Savio is an Italian coachbuilder, active since 1919, founded in Turin just after the First World War by the brothers Antonio and Giuseppe Savio, who had worked for twenty years at the carriage maker Marcelle. Its first large order was to body 900 Itala chassis, which brought it work from Lancia, OM, Isotta Fraschini, Ansaldo, Alfa Romeo and above all Fiat, a commercial relationship that lasts today. After the Second World War it concentrated on ambulance bodies, moved to Moncalieri in 1959 and in 1965 launched one of its best known cars, the open leisure body on the Fiat 600 known as the Savio Jungla. It built the Italdesign Aztec prototype in 1988 and took over the coachbuilder Boneschi in 1995 through its holding Omnia to form the Savio Group. Today it makes industrial bodies for trucks and buses, medical vehicle conversions and prototypes.
