Marco Tencone (born 1967) is an Italian automotive and industrial designer, known for his design of Lancia concept cars.
Career
Tencone has previously been with the
Pininfarina design company, developing designs for car makers such as
Honda and
Ferrari, as well as other industrial manufacturers such as the French maker of motoring boats,
Beneteau. His superior at Pininfarina was
Enrico Fumia (born 1948), and when he in 1992 became the director of the new
Centro Stile Lancia design group, Tencone joined him there. Under Michael Vernon Robinson (born 1956) he did the
Lancia Dialogos in 1996, which became the
Lancia Thesis production car, and he subsequently became the exterior chief designer of Lancias. The 2002 Fulvia concept was his, under the direction of
Flavio Manzoni (born 1965) who in 2010 went to
Ferrari as design director. In 2004 Tencone succeeded Michael Vernon Robinson as chief designer, Robinson since then moving to
Gruppo Bertone. Around 2009, Tencone was added responsibility for the Maserati and Alfa Romeo designs as well, and was in 2014 holding the position as head of design of Maserati, Alfa Romeo and Lancia automobiles.
