Picchio is an italian company specialized in the automotive sector.It was founded in 1989, when a few young motor-racing enthusiasts from Ascol tought to create a company to manufacture sports car designed from eng. Giotto Bizzarrini. The relationship with this absolute genius in automotive history is immediately on a wave of enthusiasm. Eng Bizzarrini designed a car and then made with his own hands the new prototype that became the first "traveling laboratory". The first Picchio was tested in Magione (PG) racetrack in the autumn 1991. The car had no problem. It was driven by Giotto Bizzarrini himself, this time acting as pilot and test driver. It was decided to start the industrial production programme. In 1996 Picchio headquarter was completed.In 1998 there was the first race of the first model completely designed and manufactured by Picchio for circuit racing. Among the first races we can mention ISRS championship at Misano and at Nurburgring, in 1999 SRWC championship at Donington (UK), and from 2000, Campionato Italiano Prototipi (CIP), on the most famous italian circuits, including 6 hours of Vallelunga.
