Enzo Ferrari was certainly one of the most powerful names, and probably one of the most powerful and influential men, in motoring history. As a young boy, Enzo dreamt of being an opera singer, a journalist or a racing driver, instead he created one of the most recognised company names in the modern world.

During his 50-year reign he rarely left Maranello – the spiritual home of his beloved race teams and birthplace of the sports cars against which all others are judged – and remained a very private man.
