Enzo Anselmo Ferrari, the son of Alfredo and Adalgisa, was born in Modena, Italy on 18 February 1898. As a child, he showed an unbridled passion for cars and as an adult he went on to become not only a car manufacturer but also a representative of the Italian spirit.<\/p>\n

To celebrate his 120th birth anniversary, a photographic exhibition has been organised at Enzo\u2019s birthplace, within the complex that now houses the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena. It includes images depicting him at various stages of his life: from childhood to adulthood, from his career as a driver to that of a manager and manufacturer alongside unforgettable motor racing champions such as Nuvolari, Castellotti and Villeneuve.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems incredible to think that Enzo Ferrari was born in the 19th century,” says Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne. \u201cHis lesson is more relevant than ever and his modernity unquestionable. He was a man with extraordinary vision and ability to manage people and resources as well as a strong entrepreneurial spirit and exceptional courage. One wonders what he could have achieved if he had had access to today\u2019s technical resources and knowledge. The mark that he left on the world remains a source of pride for all of us at Ferrari and for the whole of Italy.\u201d<\/p>\n
