Fiat Snow-Plough.
This snowy scene dates I think to the 1950s and shows a car (Lancia? Alfa?) in the background, with old-style wooden skis tied to the roof. In the foreground is a curious looking machine, with a FIAT badge on the bonnet and two people perched on top. Despite looking around on Italian-language search engines for articles referring to a Fiat-built 'spazzaneve' (snow plough), I've not yet found anything that looks like, or provides more information, on the plough shown here. Does anyone have more info on this machine, or the car shown with skis strapped to the roof?
