Day 21: Ferrari Museum

After a nice breakfast at our hotel we took a cab to the train station then got tickets to nearby Modena where we took the shuttle bus right outside the train station to the Ferrari factory and museum in Maranello.  This was a check mark off Tim’s bucket list.  We were surprised to learn that when Ferrari was introduced in the USA in California it was an upstart company and the sales in the US gave them the capital for the company to take off.  Their theme this year is “Holly Dreaming” and the display was great.  We enjoyed seeing the impressive trophy room with several race cars.  It was a nice day J

  1. Yes, the museum is neat but through a business contact of Paul's, we got a private tour of the Ferrari factory! Something available only to Ferrari owners! It was amazing. Only the installation of the engine seemed to be on a line, for all other processes they pushed and pulled the cars around by hand. Amazing. Kim
