Monteverdi
The golden age of Swiss fast cars.
Cars designed by Peter Monteverdi, the son of an Italian immigrant, made Swiss automobile industry history. Sports cars, limousines and off-roaders were produced at his factory at Binnigen, near Basel until 1982. Many vehicles are housed in a museum, and are the pride and joy of those who work there, as long-time employee Paul Berger explains. (Luigi Jorio and Thomas Kern, swissinfo.ch)
