Ferdinando Innocenti
Ferdinando Innocenti (1 September 1891, in Pescia, Italy – 1966)[citation needed] an Italian businessman who founded the machinery-works company Innocenti and was the creator of the Lambretta motorscooter.
Innocenti started working as an assistant to a blacksmith in 1907.[1] By 1966, BMC models – primarily at that date versions of the Mini and the Austin/Morris 1100, assembled to a high standard at Innocenti's Milan plant – accounted for three percent of the Italian passenger car market.[1]
On his death his son, Luigi, who had been vice-chairman since 1958, succeeded him in the top job at the company he had founded.[1]
