Built on a large cliff overlooking the sea, the colourful homes of Manarola are particularly picturesque.
Manarola may be the oldest of the towns in the Cinque Terre, with the cornerstone of the church, San Lorenzo, dating from 1338. Manarola's primary industries have traditionally been fishing and wine-making. In recent years, Manarola and its neighboring towns have become popular tourist destinations. Mostly all of the houses are bright and colourful.
1973 was the year of the first Bertone designed Ferrari : the 308 GT4. To remain up to date and stick to the oil crisis, Bertone suggests this "cheap" model as an entry to the range. There was no real plan to put it into production.
But this Rainbow announces the design of the 1980s. The roof can be removed offering a Targa body.

This striking black-and-white photograph captures the elegant columns of the Camera di Commercio (Chamber of Commerce) in Florence, Italy. The image exemplifies minimalist and architectural photography, focusing on the repeating patterns and texture of the stone pillars, which exude a sense of strength and stability. Located in the heart of Florence, the Camera di Commercio is a notable symbol of commerce and history, embodying the rich architectural heritage of the city. This close-up shot isolates the geometry and structure of the columns, offering a timeless glimpse into Florence's architectural finesse. The monochrome tone adds depth, emphasizing light and shadow to enhance the tactile quality of the stone and the serene rhythm of the design.

To me is just giving headache...
Waiting for my nephew to born any minute...or maybe we'll wait some other day!
This is the first project of the Bertone-Citroën cooperation. It will last for three decades, with 4 mass production models and another prototype in 1986 : the Zabrus (also in this BERTONE album).
This 2+2 coupé is based on the Citroën GS and keeps all its technical aspects :
1055cc flat 4 air cooled engine.
55 PS DIN.
Hydraulic suspension.
Brakes and steering are also taken from the GS.
Inside, it also keeps the major part of the dashboard. The length is identical to the GS, but the Camargue is wider and lower.
The body was designed by Marcello Gandini.
Air Tunnels in Giant Flying Wing Expected to Increase Power of Many Propellers
“Pierced by a battery of tunnels a flying wing airplane is proposed by an engineer at the famous Caproni airplane works in Italy. Streamlined motors and four-bladed propellers will drive air blasts through the tunnels, each of which forms a Venturi tube, expanding toward the rear. Thus, according to the inventor, the air will give a forward push something in the manner of rocket propulsion. Aided by the Italian government, the designer recently completed a single-engine experimental craft incorporating his ideas. This odd flying barrel (also illustrated on the cover) was put through successful tests near Rome. He now proposes to build a huge machine for transatlantic travel.
“A half-dozen tunnels or more will run through the immense flying wing. Rudders and elevators will be mounted so they will move in the blasts issuing form the tubes. The craft will be piloted from a cabin with transparent walls at the center of the leading edge of the wing. On either side will be observation bays from which passengers can look ahead. Other windows will afford a rear view from the central passenger’s cabin. Another feature of the machine will be a catwalk running lengthwise through the wing. It will enable mechanics to make adjustments while the plane is in flight.” [Text from the accompanying article]
