Happy Birthday Fiat 500

Summer 1958. A light breeze blows around the coast of Capri, caressing the hulls of the luxurious yachts moored in the harbour. On the quayside, the exclusive 500 Jolly, better known as the "Spiaggina", awaits its illustrious guests for a journey into the glittering night life of the "Dolce Vita". Summer 2018. Coinciding with Fiat 500's birthday, the iconic "Spiaggina" makes an elegant return to Europe's most famous resorts. Its new lease of life comes courtesy of the Fiat brand, which presents the new 500 Spiaggina '58 special series, produced in a limited edition of 1,958 cars - a tribute to the year of the birth of the first "Spiaggina", with ultra-chic design touches and a lavish standard outfit. This is the first of Fiat's two tributes to celebrate both the legendary little car's birthday and the 60th anniversary of its first special series - the unforgettable 500 spiaggina dating from 1958, which became a universally acclaimed symbol of the "Dolce Vita". By marking these two important dates, Fiat also celebrates the secret of the 500's eternal youth: its capability to renew itself continually, also through special series, without ever losing its identity. And the Fiat brand has produced a second "present" for these special milestones: a delightful video to the notes of the song "Volare", the ever-popular Italian classic which also appeared in 1958. Starring, of course, the new 500 Spiaggina '58.
