Description
The great stories of Ferrari and Maserati, as well as Stanguellini, De Tomaso and Pagani, could not have been born if the terrain of the province of Modena had not proven over the years particularly fertile and receptive to the myth of speed, motor engineering, beauty on four wheels, the search for performance on the track. Here 13 stories are told, each of them significant for the purpose of telling another point of view of the Motor Valley, far from the spotlight of the mainstream, but capable of communicating its deepest meaning and sign: ancient myths, master craftsmen, short but luminous parables, past adventures and new ventures, even on two wheels. Each of these stories is a living testimony to the human, technological and historical value of the province of Modena, a practical demonstration of the axiom of the uniqueness of the land of engines, which today as yesterday is the north star of the global automotive galaxy. Each chapter, even if relating to completed experiences, reveals something tangible: a small museum, a particular workshop, a stretch of road, a former factory, an iconic building. Resilient artefacts, which fully tell and express the other land of engines.
Foreword by Mauro Tedeschini.
