Aldo Brovarone is noted Italian automobile designer and the former chief stylist for Pininfarina — widely known for a prominent range of work including the Ferrari Dino GTS, Lancia Gamma Coupé and the Peugeot 504 and 504 Coupé.

Background

Born June 24, 1926, in Vigliano Biellese, Italy's Piedmont textile region, Brovarone demonstrated artistic talent at an early age. His later studies were interrupted by WWII, after which he worked for a time as a designer at a refrigerator company.
In 1949 Brovarone worked as a graphic designer job at an advertising firm in Buenos Aires, Argentina, later working with AUTOAR. Brovarone returned to Italy to work with Piero Dusio of Cisitalia, who later introduced Brovarone to Battista "Pinin" Farina. Brovarone joined noted coachbuilder Carrozzeria Pinin Farina in 1952, first serving as assistant stylist to Francesco Salomone and Franco Martinengo. He subsequently took on a design leadership role, initiated with the design of the Ferrari Superamerica II, presented at the 1960 Turin Auto Show.
After his retirement from Pinifarina in 1988, Brovarone served as a stylist with Stola.
