Tropicana Magazine Jan-Feb 2018 #116: A Start From The Heart

THE DRIVE
RUN WITH THE HORSES
In Italy, no trip would be
complete without a trip to the
Ferrari Museum. There are
two, in Modeno and Maranello,
and both are amongst the
most visited in Italy, attracting
petrolheads and fans of the
prancing horse brand.
The stunning Museo Enzo
Ferrari in Modeno, which
combines a futuristic 2,500
square metre main pavilion
with the meticulously restored
workshop of Enzo Ferari’s
father – now the Ferrari
Engines Museum – recorded
a record numbers of vistors in
2017.
The Ferrari Museum in
Maranello has also taken in
growing ticket sales thanks to
its “Rosso Infinito” (‘Infinite
Red’) exhibition and “Under the
Skin” exhibit, which has now
been transferred to the Design
Museum in London, and will
run up until 15 April 2018. If
that’s the stuff that gets your
engine gunning, then get in
gear and go.
