| 23 | Notizie | A brief history of the Mille Miglia What makes this event so special and unique The called them the "four musketeers." They were two counts who were the driving force behind the newly founded 'Automobil Club di Brescia', Count Aymo Maggi di Gradella and Count Franco Mazzotti. Then there was Senior Renzo Castagneto, a formidable organizer with a racing car past, and Giovanni Canestri, the great journalist of the 'Gazzetta dello Sport', the Italian daily sports newspaper. |

| 72 | Arte | 'Heritage of Speed' captures the Ferrari Testa Rossa An artist is sometimes the best person to present a work of art Anthony Lauro Peter Harholdt As a designer and artist, I have always been fascinated by the traditional art of coach building. There is something inherently magical about building a car by hand. In today's era of cad driven design, everything from the smallest potato peeler to jumbo jets is made with the same soulless numeric precision. In our quest for efficiency and perfection, we have lost the subtle abstract essence that a hand crafted car or piece of art subconsciously conveys. |
| 75 | Modello | Terzo Dalia commemorates the Daytona engine Another Dalia scale presentation Courtesy Terzo Dalia Terzo Dalia has made a passion out of manufacturing scale model Ferraris over the years, from entire models to stand alone chassis and stand alone body bucks, to engines and transmissions. He has quite a following because his work is detailed and accurate (as it must be for a serious modeller) but also because his objects d'arte are in a very impressive 1/3 scale. This makes them inspiring in their conception and striking in their appearance. |

RM Auctions had, if anything, the opposite concern with its recent Ferrari auction in Maranello. The place was packed. And not a surprise, either, € 75 got a catalog, a 2.25 lb tome of glossy paper with excellent clean design, sharp photos and posts of Ferrari and Maserati history. Possessing the catalog was all it took to gain entry into the F1 Logistics Building next to Ferrari's Fiorano test track. |
