== Foundation and early development (1900–1908) ==

Isotta Fraschini was founded in 1900 by Cesare Isotta and Vincenzo Fraschini as a company initially engaged in the importation and servicing of foreign automobiles. The firm quickly transitioned to manufacturing its own vehicles, drawing on contemporary European engineering practice while developing a distinct technical identity.

Early Isotta Fraschini automobiles were characterised by robust construction, advanced mechanical features, and an emphasis on reliability—qualities that contributed to the company’s early reputation both in Italy and abroad.
