Ferrari Remembrance
August 14 marked the tenth anniversary of Enzo Ferrari’s death in Maranello, Italy. Born in 1898 in Modena, Enzo became famous as a motor racing driver and entrepreneur, and was the founder of Scuderia Ferrari Grand Prix motor racing team, and in 1947 of the Ferrari automobile marque. He was widely known as ‘il Commendatore’. The name Ferrari is known and revered around the world and continues to be a dominant force in both supercar manufacture and motor sport.
