Does anyone know the make and model of Signor Naccarelli's little white, convertible car he uses when he drives Clara's mother around in Florence?

...it is a 1960 Autobianchi Bianchina Cabriolet [110DB]

Correct it is a 1960 Bianchina...I owned a red one for about a year way back in college (USA). A fun car, but I had a lot of difficulty with it....and walked away from wrecking it with a broad smile on my face.

It must have been a very popular car since it appeared in so many movies:

IIRC, I believe that it was the favorite car of George Lucas when he was a teenager (and the one he suffered an accident in.)
