The Cita was the first conventional car released by Moretti, the Turin firm that had until then built motorcycles, three-wheeled delivery vans and, during the Second World War, electric small trucks. The firm began production of ordinary passenger cars in 1946 once wartime demand for its commercial vehicles faded, and the Cita followed soon after that decision, with the larger 600 coming shortly afterwards and the 750 in 1953. Italian Tribune describes the Cita as a microcar built between 1947 and 1949 with a 350 cc engine delivering 14 horsepower, which fits the small, economical cars that Italy needed in the years after the war. Sources differ by a year or so on when it first appeared, so the dates here are kept as each source gives them. It is the earliest of the Moretti car models.
