Forghieri on Ferrari – 1947 to the present
By Mauro Forghieri and Daniele Buzzonetti
As you will see from our feature article (not an excerpt) on page 46 that barely scratches the surface of the tale, this is the story of Mauro Forghieri, who wrote more than two decades of Ferrari history from his position as head of the Scuderia’s racing department. Readers of this revealing look back at those years—as well as Forghieri’s childhood memories as the son of a Ferrari technician—will find themselves taken much deeper into the myth and the magic of the Prancing Horse via these behind-the-scenes accounts from within the walls of Maranello.
Forghieri’s illuminating reminiscences are fortified with the copious use of widely sourced Ferrari photography so that readers find themselves visiting test sessions and team meetings as well as pit lanes and podiums. Also excellent are the superb technical illustrations provided by Giorgio Piola and G. Cavara that go beneath the skins of the cars and inside their engines.
For anyone with even the slightest interest in the fabled history of racing’s most recognizable marque, this book is a must-have. Available for US$90/€60 from better bookstores, or direct from publisher Giorgio Nada Editore at:
