Few names in the world of motoring are quite as legendary as that of the late Enzo Ferrari, whose legacy lives on in jaw-dropping new supercars such as the 458 Spider and the F12berlinetta - machines of such incredible engineering perfection that they tend to be complete strangers to the notion of vehicle recovery. And now the Italian city of Modena presents its own legacy to Enzo's life, in the form of the Enzo Ferrari Museum, built on the ruins of the house in which he was born in 1898.
The futuristic museum will house a range of Ferraris, together with a selection of other great Italian cars such as the Alfa Romeo 40-60 of 1914 and the Alfa Romeo Bimotore of 1935.
The museum features a film projection room, a conference room and a lecture room, detailing not only Enzo's life in the world of motoring, but the history of engine making in the city of Modena, too. Indeed, Modena is an integral part of Ferrari's history, demonstrated by the fact the city's colour - yellow - features in the background of the famous Ferrari badge.
Museum president Mauro Tedeschini commented: "The Museum is dedicated to the life of a character who contributed to making Italian culture famous all over the world, a path that tells the story of sports car racing through symbolic individuals, places and races."
Tickets for the museum start at 13 euros, with a range of concessions available. For more details on the museum, please visit: www.museocasaenzoferrari.it
