Ettore Bugatti is Italian. In 1909, he moved to Alsace, which was then German, to found his brand, which, in fact, would become French at the end of the First World War.

“Nothing is too beautiful, nothing is too expensive.” This is the motto of Ettore Bugatti, an inventor without a degree in a perpetual quest for beauty. Born in Milan in 1881 into a family of renowned artists, he is a perfectionist, visionary and aesthete. He built his first car with his own hands at the age of 19. He knows how to do everything, which will earn him the recognition of his workers. Everywhere, they call him “The Boss.” According to Bugatti, the irreproachable quality of a machine cannot be separated from its beauty.
