Fornasari was an Italian car manufacturer that was created in 1999 by Giuseppe Fornasari [it]. The company made sports cars and SUVs, entering the market when Italian cars were dominating the sports car scene. Their first vehicle was an odd three-door SUV fitted with a Chevy-sourced engine. A couple of years later, the company started venturing into more conventional sports cars.

Fornasari was declared bankrupt by the Tribunal of Vicenza on 9 September 2015,[1] but rose again with their new model, Gigi 311 GT at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.[2]
