Lancia FLAMINIA 335 Presidential

During official Italian ceremonies in Rome, a LANCIA FLAMINIA type 335 presidential is used by the Italian Presidents.

 

Lancia FLAMINIA 335 Presidential

This model manufactured in five copies was designed in 1960 by the preparer PININFARINA, at the request of the Italian President of the time, Giovanni GRONCHI, to replace the previous model which was a FIAT 2800 of 1939.

This coincided with the arrival of the Queen of England Elizabeth II in 1961...

Here is a video of a parade in 2014

However, Italian presidents use other vehicles to move around like the MASERATI Quattroporte... In 1982, a model was ordered by Italian President Sandro PERTINI.

Later on, other models were delivered with the 2004 model.

Or here during the one of June 02, 2020.

We can see that the motorized escort surrounds the Presidential car with a protective bubble.
   This principle of protection bubble follows the Assassination of King Alexander I of Yugoslavia in 1934 and imposed a pro-active security around the Presidential limousine.
  

Lancia THEMIS Limousine

There is also a LANCIA THEMIS in limousine version.

 

Lancia THEMA

But for more regular trips, the Italian President uses a LANCIA THEMA.

 

Lancia THEMA

Entirely armored, it sneaks through the Italian streets, accompanied by other LANCIA THEMA escorts...

 

We can also see a model of the German brand AUDI A8 that the Italian President uses.

 

Here it is in video during a trip in 2019 in the province


It is also used when heads of state come, as here with the Chinese President in 2019.
 
We can see various cars of protection of the Italian government, as several MASERATI Quattroporte, as well as LANCIA THEMA at the time of visits of foreign personalities, as on this video, with the arrival of the German President in February 2021.


or here, also in video, during the visit of the Russian President in 2019.
