Today marks both the birthday of the Fiat icon and the 60th anniversary of the famous 500 Jolly Spiaggina, the legendary little car's first special series and symbol of the "Dolce Vita".
For the dual celebration, the Fiat brand presents the new 500 "Spiaggina '58", the exclusive special series with ultra-chic design touches and a lavish standard outfit.
Produced in a limited edition of 1,958 cars, the new "Spiaggina '58" is an authentic cult model that highlights the secret of Fiat 500's success: its ability to keep growing thanks to the 30 special series' that have succeeded each other over the last 11 years.
Fiat's second tribute is a delightful video to the notes of the song "Volare", the ever-popular Italian classic sung by Domenico Modugno at the 1958 Sanremo Festival.
To mark the occasion, creative hub Garage Italia and design firm Pininfarina have also produced their own tribute on the basis of the 500C: the irresistible "Spiaggina by Garage Italia" showcar, featuring unique, sophisticated solutions that reinterpret the spirit of those years for today's world.
