Alfa Bimotore

Museum Enzo Ferrari, Circa 2014

January 16, 2023 By pete

The Alfa Bimotore is on display in a quiet, beautiful, chapel-like setting.

Story and photos by Jonathan Sharp

From the VeloceToday archives, November 2014

Nestling, as if being protected, in the curve of the new display hall is the original workshop of Enzo Ferrari’s father Alfredo. A long and narrow building lit by many large arch shaped windows. The building was built during the latter half of the 19th century and would not have benefited from electric lighting, hence the many windows. At the far end of the hall, roughly where the “Enzo” is now displayed, was, along with the machine tools that Alfredo used to shape metal, a stable which housed the horses used to draw the sulkies (2 wheeled trotting rig) and carts of the time.
