Franco Automobili S.A. was a short lived Italian company. Attilio Franco presented a prototype at the Automobile Salon at Turin (Torino) in 1908. This exposition was a big succes so he decided to start regular production in 1910. A Franco race car piloted by Tullio Carilato won the Targa Florio in May 1910, but by 1912, car production ceased.
