Lancia & C. Fabbrica Automobili was founded in 1906 in Turin by Fiat racing drivers, Vincenzo Lancia (1881-1937) and his friend, Claudio Fogolin (1872-1945). Vincenzo Lancia was an Italian pilot, engineer and founder of Lancia. He was the youngest of four children (one sister and two brothers), his father being a soup canner who made his money in Argentina before returning to Turin to start his business. From an early age, Vincenzo showed a gift with numbers, and it was intended for him to become a bookkeeper, but developed an interest in machinery and engineering. In 1910 Lancia components were exported to the United States where they were assembled and sold as SGV cars by the United States automobile manufacturer SGV (1911-1916). In 1915, Lancia also manufactured its first truck, the Jota that continued as a dedicated series. The Lancia Jota is a series of truck and bus chassis produced by Lancia between 1915 and 1935. In 1937, Vincenzo died of a heart attack and his wife, Adele Miglietti Lancia, and his son, Gianni Lancia, took over control of the company. Gianni Lancia (1924-2014) was an Italian former automobile engineer, industrialist and racing enthusiast. They persuaded Vittorio Jano to join as an engineer. Vittorio Jano (on hungarian: János Viktor; 1891-1965) was very famous Italian automobile designer of Hungarian descent from the 1920s through 1960s. He worked for Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Ferrari. Gianni Lancia was president of Lancia from 1947 to 1955. In 1956 the Pesenti family took over control of Lancia with Carlo Pesenti (1907–1984) in charge. During the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, Lancia had great success in rallying, winning many World Rally Championships.
