Aquila Italiana 25/30 HP (1912)

Aquila Italiana (founded as the Template:Lang and quickly renamed the Template:Lang) was an Italian automobile manufacturer from 1906 to 1917. The company was renamed again in 1909 to Template:Lang after it was bought by a state – the Marsaglia part came from the name of the bank owner's son (Vincenzo Marsaglia, a talented automobile driver).

Designed by Template:Ill, the cars were big four- and six-cylinder models with ioe engines of an advanced type. There was an interruption in construction after 1908, but the company introduced new models in 1911; these featured 4192 cc six-cylinder engines and proved to be successful in many races. Among Aquila Italiana drivers were Meo Constantini (later to join Bugatti at Molsheim, where he became first a racing driver and later the Chef d'Equipe) and Carlo Masetti (Count Giulio Masetti's elder brother).

Production

The company Aquila Italiana produced approximately 1,500 cars (across all models).
