Casa Ferrari Museum Modena
A Century of Pure Italian Racing Cars
The exhibition on 100 years of Maserati in the Museum dedicated to Enzo Ferrari should come as no surprise. Without Maserati, Ferrari would not have had that all important marque rivalry which has helped to make the Maranello cars a universally acclaimed success.
Maserati had been around since Ferrari was a racing driver and in the 1930s was a strong rival when Ferrari competed with the Ferrari Scuderia-entered Alfa Romeos. Ferrari was well aware of the engineering talent of the brothers from Bologna Carlo, Bindo, Alfieri, Mario, Ettore and Ernesto, who had chosen a Trident as the symbol for their racing cars. However, it was when the Bologna-based company was transferred to Modena after being taken over by the Orsi Family that sparked future rivalry: 'Future' because while Maserati was winning the most famous race in the world, the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race in 1939 and 1940, Ferrari was still building its first car, the 815 which didn't even bear its name.
It was after the war that the Trident and the Prancing Horse crossed swords, and even drivers - Fangio was Formula One World Champion with both marques.
This rivalry continued on the road too with the magnificent Gran Turismo models designed and built just a few kilometres apart, in Modena and Maranello.
This exciting challenge that made Modena and Italy a motor racing landmark was interrupted in the 1960s: while Ferrari remained in the reliable hands of its founder who received support from the powerful Fiat Group, Maserati underwent a series of changes of ownership which fed to it abandoning racing and taking on a different position in the market. The "rebirth" of the famous Trident marque came in the 1990s when Maserati was taken over by the Fiat Group and its relaunch was entrusted to the same Ferrari that had once been its rival, The launch of the Quattroporte in 2003 marked a new start for this extraordinary marque which now celebrates its centenary and presents some of the most important and significant examples of its work in this once-in-a-lifetime exhibition.
