Allow us to introduce this extremely rare Benedetti Giannini 750 Sport Barchetta. Constructed in 1950 by the Fratelli Benedetti (the Benedetti Brothers) in Florence. Only two cars were believed to be built; one for Angelo Benzoni and one for Carlo Chiti. This one in particular was Chiti’s personal car.

If the name Carlo Chiti does not ring a bell, please allow us to give a bit more of important background information.

Carlo Chiti was a famous and important engineer who worked intensively on Alfa Romeo competition cars in the 50’s. Later he was involved in the design of the Ferrari 246 F1 driven by Mike Hawkthorne and Ferrari 156 Sharknose driven by Phill Hill who respectively won the 1958 and 1961 Championships.

In 1962 after a dispute that Enzo Ferrari had with some of his engineers, Carlo Chiti decided to leave Ferrari.

Shortly after Chiti became a key figure in Alfa Romeo’s competition deparment; Autodelta. Under his reign Autodelta would create much furor in the following years with models such as the Giulia Tubolare Zagato, the Giulia GTA and the Tipo 33. In short, let it be clear that Carlo Chiti had a very innovative and important role in racing.
