Description: Founded in Rome in 1926 with the backing of the Italian government, Azienda Generale Italiana Petroli (AGIP) was created to explore, extract, and distribute the nation's underground resources. Following a major oil discovery at Cortemaggiore in 1952, company president Enrico Mattei realized the state-owned enterprise needed a recognizable brand mark. The resulting design featured a stretching, six-legged black dog breathing red fire against a bright yellow backdrop. This iconic emblem eventually became a fixture at gas stations across Europe and a prominent sponsor logo in the world of motorsports.
