Stabilimenti Industriali Farina was an Italian automotive coachbuilder in Turin. It was established by Giovanni Carlo Farina (1884–1957) in 12 Corso Tortona in 1906. It was closed in 1953.
Among famous employees was his brother Battista Farina, who was here from the start in 1906 to 1928 before he in 1930 established what became Pininfarina. Pietro Frua worked here from 1928 to 1939 before starting his own company.[1] Up until 1930, Felice Mario Boano was here and Giovanni Michelotti started his career with Farina in the mid-1930s. Also, Franco Martinengo and Alfredo Vignale were employed by Stabilimenti at the early stages of their careers.
Before World War II, it did some Lancia Artena and Alfa Romeo 6C. The founder retired in 1948,[2] and the firm was run by his son Attilia Farina (1908–93).[3]
