According to Ferrari, Guerra is &#8220;Carlo Rizzulein&#8221; (the curly one): he spoke with him in Modena dialect and he rarely got angry with him.<br \/>\n\u2013 I had to wait for the Knight Commander every evening, as he came to check on the advancement of the jobs. I was a friend of his son, Dino, who often came to the workshop and stopped for a chat. Even when he started feeling ill, he arrived, he sat next to me and I tried to involve him. When I did something which Ferrari didn\u2019t want me to do, I discussed it with him first. For example, once I told him: \u201cDino, I thought about doing one thing that I know full well your father won\u2019t like\u201d, it was a headrest, something which everybody had by that time. Actually, engineer Fraschetti had passed away: if he\u2019d had a headrest, I\u2019m convinced that he would have made it. I mean, I decided to do as I wanted to and I got to work, adding other changes to the car too. Ferrari\u2019s reaction wasn\u2019t one of the best. He stormed in noisily opening the glass door and saying: \u201cWhy did you do it? I don\u2019t like it!\u201d. \u201cI did it as it was something useful. And it\u2019s also nice.\u201d I answered. And he answered: \u201cThat\u2019s not a good reason!\u201d That was one of the few times that we had an argument.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<style type='text\/css'>\n\t\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='dt-gallery-container gallery galleryid-5409 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3456\" height=\"2304\" src=\"https:\/\/internationalclassic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Gian-Carlo-Guerra-interview-7.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-5391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/internationalclassic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Gian-Carlo-Guerra-interview-7.jpg 3456w, https:\/\/internationalclassic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Gian-Carlo-Guerra-interview-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/internationalclassic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Gian-Carlo-Guerra-interview-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/internationalclassic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Gian-Carlo-Guerra-interview-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3456px) 100vw, 3456px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-5391'>\n\t\t\t\t\tPic of the volume \u201cL\u2019\u00ea and\u00e9da acs\u00e8\u201d written by Franco Gozzi, Artioli Editore\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Earlier on, you were mentioning how you made the 250 TR and other cars, like the 500 Mondial: \u201cdrawing\u201d it with a steel thread.

Did you have it in your mind?<br \/>\n\u2013 No, even with the Mondial I did it like this\u2026 I observed the dummy with the tanks, the bulk of the mechanics and of the suspensions. Afterwards, I got the 6mm calipered thread and I pulled it like this, from front to rear, with a guy in it for the driver\u2019s size. Then I did the sides and the rest. At the end, it was the time for the metal panels.<br \/>\nIt was about having the right awareness to build and handle that material searching for lightness, in order to compete with the competition.

And which tools did you use to beat the metal? Did you use the hammer and the sack of sand, just like it was done traditionally?<br \/>\n\u2013 When I arrived at Scaglietti\u2019s, they used some mallets this long and some wooden blocks, which were too stiff. You made a whole and you beat the metal like that. It\u2019s only that this mechanism didn\u2019t work: by beating a portion, the other side came up. So, one day, I went to see the upholsterer and I asked them to create a bag with the truck\u2019s fabric. Then, we created very useful pillows with that bag. Each one of us, panel beaters, adapted their working tools to their own characteristics: those who used their wrist made shorter hammers, those who used their elbow had longer hammers.<\/p>\n<p>Guerra speaks softly. He has a feeble voice and he smiles often. He goes over his memories mentally and he talks as if he was actually browsing through them: smiling at the many pictures of someone who has gone through his life. He also met Roberto Rossellini. He worked on the Ferrari 375 that the film director drove up and down Italy, using it as if it was a normal car. Actually, at the time, Rossellini already had it in mind to make a film about Enzo Ferrari: a masterpiece which has never come to light, which should have included also the Scaglietti plant in San Lazzaro, amongst other locations. Guerra files the memory with a smile. \u201cRossellini was a good man. Ingrid Bergmann was also with him: a beautiful lady\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<style type='text\/css'>\n\t\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='dt-gallery-container gallery galleryid-5409 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2592\" height=\"1728\" src=\"https:\/\/internationalclassic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rossellini-and-Bergmann.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Gian Carlo Guerra interview\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-5381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/internationalclassic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rossellini-and-Bergmann.jpg 2592w, https:\/\/internationalclassic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rossellini-and-Bergmann-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/internationalclassic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rossellini-and-Bergmann-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/internationalclassic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rossellini-and-Bergmann-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2592px) 100vw, 2592px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-5381'>\n\t\t\t\t\t Pic of the volume \u201cL\u2019\u00ea and\u00e9da acs\u00e8\u201d written by Franco Gozzi, Artioli Editore\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then he goes through the long list of the drivers that he met: Musso, Phil Hill, Peter Collins, Ascari, Villoresi&#8230; his favourite was always Juan Manuel Fangio.<br \/>\n\u2013 Yes, I loved Fangio even if he made me \u201cstruggle\u201d because he was demanding: he wanted many things that we didn\u2019t actually do. For example: once I made a windscreen especially for him. When he went to the mountains, he told me that the air got on his helmet and it caused him a headache. So I made him a windscreen with a rectangular Plexiglas piece, surrounded by an iron frame, two small hooks which I had soldered on and then some levers which enabled you to pull the windscreen down. When Fangio saw it, he went crazy!<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Did you go to the tracks with the drivers?<br \/>\n\u2013 No, I never went to the tracks. I knew them well though, I was everybody\u2019s friend and even if sometimes they came with certain requests\u2026 Ferrari always said it: \u201cdrivers don\u2019t make cars, they break them.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2013 And as you liked making cars, did you also like driving them?<br \/>\n\u2013 I didn\u2019t drive cars much.

I was called to the bull\u2019s company to make the Countach.
