<p>So far the aristocratic tuners at Castagna have given us <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/13/geneva-auto-show-wrapup-castagna-tenders-crossed-up-minis/">MINI pickups</a>, a psycho-retro rebodied Corvette Z06 codenamed <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/02/retrovette-castagna-aznom-unveiled/">Aznom</a>, and, uh, this thing they call the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/02/20/carrozzeria-castagna-to-show-gran-tourer-sport-concept-in-geneva/">Gran Tourer Sport</a>. For their next trick, they tackle the Fiat 500. Surprisingly, for a car that looks like it's about to go collect pollen, we don't mind it. The car's just so bloody cute, it Aznom gets away with it.</p>
<p>There are three versions: Amabile, Intrigante, and Seducente. They are loaded up with Alcantara throughout, as well as the most fascinatingly patterned wood. No word on whether the purse comes with one of them. There are also Aznom badges and stitching throughout, which was previously the name of a Castagna car, and now appears to be an entire brand.</p>
<p>Follow the jump for the press release -- make sure you have a glass of Chianti and Puccini in the background for that first paragraph -- and be sure to check out the hi-res images. </p>
