Morelli was an Italian coachbuilding firm based in Ferrara and active in the 1950's and the 1960's, making primarily Aluminum bodies for OSCA .Of the some 200 cars produced by OSCA, perhaps 80 were Mt4 models, and of the Mt4 models, records show 40 Spiders with Morelli of Ferrara bodies.

As OSCA leaned on Morelli to build their bodies, Morelli responded with a new body style for the cars in 1954, beginning with the TN 1500 series. The classic barrel shaped OSCA, itself derived from the first OSCA "siluros", passed into history. Source
