Chris,

The real story behind this is that Pininfarina did aerodynamic work on 
Italy's 1984 America's Cup yacht challenger, the Azzura. Pininfarina's wind 
tunnel was amongst the best in the world, so they donated it's use for 
Italy's effort. The trunk badge on some 1984 Pininfarins Spiders and a blue 
badge with a stylized sailboat on it to celebrate this effort and yes, those 
cars were called Azzurra's.
