Flaminio Bertoni


Flaminio Bertoni was an Italian automobile designer from the years preceding World War II until his death in 1964. Before his work in industrial design, Bertoni was a sculptor.
Working at Citroën for decades, Bertoni designed the Traction Avant, 2CV, the H van, the DS, and the Ami 6. The DS was often exhibited at industrial design showcases, such as the 1957 Milan Triennale Exposition.
The province of Varese dedicated a museum to his memory. It opened in May 2007.
