T he name Qabiria comes from Cabiria, an Italian 1914 movie, directed by Giovanni Pastrone. It is one of the first colossals in cinema history. The director introduced innovative camera movements to a narrative extent (the "travelling" was born here). Gabriele D'Annunzio, a famous Italian poet, takes part in the film production, writing the text inserts. Apparently, he also invented the names Cabiria and Maciste (one of the main characters). The name Cabiria was later used by Federico Fellini in 1957 for his Academy-awarded movie, Le notti di Cabiria, whose main character is played by his wife, Giuletta Masina.![]() We chose this name to link our business to the golden age of Italian successes, with a touch of nostalgia and some self-irony. And the cars, what about them?Concerning the logotype, it consists of a car, specifically a Fiat 500 or Seat 600, which enters (or exits in reverse, depending on your point of view) in a garage. The car also has a key, so in reality it is a tin toy.![]() Which reasons led us to choose this image?
