Ducati: Design in the Sign of Emotion by Decio Giulio, Ricardo Carugati Design is emotion brought to form: this is the significance of Ducati's story as told by the motorcycle firm's founder, key engineers and designers. Ducati's origins lay in the combination of precision engineering and series production. In 1925 it produced the Manens condenser. This was followed by music radio-sets, calculating machines, projectors and a truly outstanding micro-camera. After the war Ducati launched the Cucciolo auxiliary engine, its first major transportation design, which would eventually evolve into a lightweight moped. The firm then refocused its energies on motorcycle production, offering its first mass-produced bike, the Elite 200, in 1958. DUCATI is a stunningly illustrated chronological review of all the major Ducati models, an approach that reveals the evolution of design from the early years of the Cucciolo auxiliary bicycle engine in the late 1940s to today's MH900e, Ducati's latest moto masterpiece. Between these two points the book provides a fascinating text and enthralling illustrations to tell the story of the Scrambler, 750GT, Pantah, 851, Monster, Supermono, 916 and more.
