Ettore Bugatti was born in Italy but was hired by the Baron de Dietrich to come and work for him at his factory in Alsace. He then made his career there, & when he set up on his own it was in Molsheim in the same region. To suggest that the Bugatti is an Italian car however would be like saying that the Mini is a greek car because it was designed by Alec Issigonis , or that the Aston Martin DB4 thru to the old V8 are Polish because Tadek Marek designed the engines.
