A journey through Ferrari’s history
Ferrari Cavalcade delights spectators and participants
Bologna, 28 June 2012 – 110 Ferraris in the streets one uses every day doesn’t happen very often. The exception proved the rule today as long as you were present where the Ferrari Cavalcade passed.
The cars started in Bologna to the event organised by Ferrari with the idea to let the clients of the Prancing Horse feel the magic of the places connected to the history of the manufacturer from Maranello. They went to Imola where they were welcomed by the people who remembered the numerous successes Ferrari had here on this track. And then they arrived in Lugo, home of the Baracca family and of the symbol of the Prancing Horse, where the Ferrari Cavalcade was greeted with enthusiasm.
After the roads of the river Po delta the cars arrived at the Pomposa Abbey, where the people who had a visit planned didn’t know if they should visit the abbey or watch the parked Ferraris from close up. Before the Cavalcade drove back to Bologna they stopped in Ferrara in the shade of the marvelous Castello Estense.
