The great Maserati engineer Giulio Alfieri was a studious and interesting man born in Parma, trained in Milan, and his first job was with Innocenti working on the original Lambretta scooters. As was often the case he was able to work on a variety of projects but one of them is rarely talked about these days, the Maserati Birdcage.
