It's not all about Ferrari, you know.

Italy produce the most beautiful cars in the world. Period.

Often, where other countries will look at the functionality of the design, the Italians will follow their heart and emotions and let them lead the design process.

When you follow your heart, it doesn't always lead to a well-made car, but it nearly always lead to a beautiful car.

I've decided to omit all Ferraris from this list because they almost dominate the beauty contests, and they have a list of their own here:

However, the number one on this list would still be number one even if Ferraris were included.

Here are the top 20 most beautiful Italian cars of all time, without Ferrari:

20) Lamborghini Diablo

Diablo SV Diablo SV

One of my childhood favourite cars and the car the devil drives. It also sounds like Beelzebub clearing his throat.

Diablo VT Diablo VT

19) Lancia Delta Integrale

Usually, a beautiful design would be drawn free-hand. However, the designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro, whipped out his ruler and performed miracles (no euphemism here) with the achingly beautiful Lancia Delta Integrale.

18) Alfa Romeo Spider

Is there an ugly Alfa Romeo? If there is, it isn't the Spider. Driving one of these through the Tuscany scenery makes you instantly cool, no matter how bad your personality is.

17) Maserati Ghibli Spider

The first Maserati of the list, but certainly not the last.

16) De Tomaso Pantera

Just saying the name of this car out loud is enough to weaken anyone's knees.

15) Iso Grifo

Another Giorgetto Giugiaro design, the ISO Grifo was given an American heart in the form of Chevrolet and Ford engines.

14) Maserati MC12

Based on the Enzo, the MC12 has beauty on its own merit.

13) Lancia Stratos

An icon. I had to include a picture with full rally livery on because... reasons.

12) Lamborghini Countach

Lower down the list than a lot of you will expect. As this is a "beauty" contest, the Countach look sexy, but would you call it beautiful?

The cars higher than the Countach in this list are the kind of beautiful cars you'd take home to meet your parents. The Countach is a car you have a one night stand with.

11) Fiat SB4

This one might shock a few of you but look at it. It has FIAT written giant letters on the side and grill!

If you don't think this deserves to be on the list, you're just wrong.

10) Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint

A few of you might be getting worried that you've only seen one Alfa Romeo on the list thus far. It's ok, I'm just getting started.

9) Maserati Sebring

It might have a slightly garish American model name, but the design is all Italian. The perfect GT cruiser.

8) Lancia Fulvia Coupe

The motorsport heritage only adds to the beauty of the Fulvia.

7) Alfa Romeo Montreal

This car has eyelashes. Beautiful eyelashes. Not the shit ones that people put on VW Beetles. These retract as you switch the headlights on.

6) Lancia Aurelia

I had half a mind to put this at number one. So simple, so Lancia, so beautiful.

5) Fiat Dino Spider

Yes, the same company that makes the 500L made this.

4) Alfa ROmeo 8C

This was a toss up between new and old. I've gone for the original Alfa Romeo 8C because it is my favourite car of all time. It isn't quite the most beautiful car of all time, hence the position on the list, but it is, without doubt, my heart's number one.

3) Pagani Zonda

I can already feel your angry comments coming but look at the rear of the Zonda. Is there a more beautiful car derrière than this?

2) Lamborghini Miura

This will be a lot of reader's number one, and it came so very close to being mine, but you'll see why once you scroll down.

1) Fiat Multipla

Just kidding.

1) Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale

Here it is, the most beautiful Italian car ever made. This is inclusive of all Ferraris I might add.

Is there an Italian beauty missing from my list? Let me know in the comments.
