MORETTI / ITALY

The MORETTI MOTOR CAR COMPANY was founded by Giovanni Moretti in Turin / Italy in 1925 offering motorcycles.
In 1928 he presented his first car, a three seater with a two-cylinder engine, but only a prototype was built.

During WWII  he built a commercial car electric powered called: ELETTROCARRI.
Sadly no Elettrocarri has survived, but I found this wonderful front emblem:



Giovanni Moretti was using a bull as symbol for strengh


Dimension10.00  cm
Year1940 - 1944

I only found this ( bad ) picture showing the MORETTI ELETTROCARRI


In 1945 MORETTI presented the type CITA, a small car with 350ccm engine.




During the nineteenfifties the MORETTI cars still had an emblem showing the bull
