Italian company for the construction and sale of automobiles Turin


Explanation:
Best left in Italian with the translation in brackets or as a footnote
This company was formed in Turin on 1st July 1899 in Turin with the founding deed signed on 11th July. Its name was then immediately changed to "Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino" with the acronym "FIAT". This name was then changed to the acronym itself FIAT in 1918. I'm afraid the reference is in Italian.

Il 1° luglio 1899, a palazzo Bricherasio, quindi l'11 luglio, presso la sede del Banco Sconto e Sete di Torino, veniva firmato l'atto costitutivo della nuova impresa industriale: la Società Italiana per la costruzione e il commercio delle automobili – Torino (subito dopo ribattezzata, più semplicemente, Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino).
