It was back in 2014 that I had last visited the Ferrari Museums in Maranello and Modena. This year, whilst planning my trip to Bologna for Auto Moto d Epoca, it dawned on me that Modena was just down the road, so to speak, and with a late evening flight back to the UK we could, after spending a day and a half at the Bologna show, jump on the train and visit the Casa Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena.

Museum Enzo Ferrari, Circa 2014

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

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.

Last week Jonathan Sharp wrote a report on the Maserati 100th anniversary celebration at the Enzo Ferari Museum. But he didn’t forget about the Ferraris, engines, and Alfas also on display, many in the new engine room–plus a replica of Enzo Ferrari’s office. We saved that part of the story for this week.
