History

Carrozzeria Touring was founded in Milan in 1926 by two young lawyers, Felice Bianchi Anderloni and Gaetano Ponzoni. In 1936 Bianchi Anderloni patented the construction system that gave the firm its Superleggera name. He died in 1948, shortly before the postwar revival. The firm entered receivership in 1964 and ceased production in 1966.
