In 1989 a group of young friends living in Ascoli Piceno, with a strong passion for the motor sport, had the idea to establish a company constructing "copies" of the cars manufactured by Engineer Giotto Bizzarrini. During the first encounter, the Tuscan motor genius expressed a kind of "animus" towards this idea or, rather, he strongly refused to support the project and he turned the group of friends out. Nevertheless, their motivation was so strong that, after a short briefing of about half an hour, they presented an alternative proposal: to construct a sports car. The result was the Picchio. The cars were successfully raced in the Italian Hillclimb Championship and Italian Sport Championship.
