Actually "Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino"
It would translate into something like "Italian Automobile Works - Turin".
For all you jokers out there: I have a 1992 Fiat Tipo 1.4 with 242.000 km. NEVER broke down, normal maintenance, runs like new and is still capable of ashaming a lot of comparable modern cars (like VW Golf 1.4 and Peugeot 307 1.4). I just LOVE their driver's surprised faces!
Did you know a lot of the modern technologies were developped by Fiat? Direct Injection and Common Rail, for instance?
Did you know who made the firs MPV? No, not Nissan, not Renault, it was Fiat 600 Multipla, in the sixties. The MPV spirit was there!
Do you know Fiat makes robots used to produce a lot of other makers cars, including japanese cars?
Fiats are good cars and, if you take minimal maintenance care, reliable and tough. I have a lot of friend who have VW, Audi, BMW - all of them laugh at my Fiat. I
when I see their workshop bills!
