Publisher's Synopsis
When Enzo Ferrari was born in 1898, automobiles were still a novelty in his native Italy. When he died ninety years later, the company he built stood at the top of a global industry, with the Ferrari name universally recognized for performance, racing prowess and state-of-the-art Italian design. Drawing on years of original research conducted in Italy and abroad, Luca Dal Monte uncovers a wealth of new facts about Ferrari's origins, ambitions, business practices and private life.
