In the history of enterprise, Vincenzo Lancia is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Vincenzo Lancia as Italian entrepreneur and racecar driver.
Vincenzo Lancia was born at Fobello in 1881. His recorded nationality is Italy.
Around the turn of the twentieth century the corporation became the dominant economic form, along with the antitrust politics that followed it.
He worked as entrepreneur, engineer and racing automobile driver.
Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.
That the business was built from Italy shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
Vincenzo Lancia died in 1937, aged 56. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
