Enzo
Ferrari, when he died in 1988, was one of the best known men in the
world, a superstar. His fame, which was greater than politicians, movie
stars or pop idols earning him the sobriquet "Pope of the
North", was created by his cars, after which everyone yearns but a
few can afford.
To some he was known as "that great agitator of
men" for tempting drivers to go to the edge. It isn't
necessarily a question of taste that precludes the female form from
adorning Ferrari's cars at Motor Shows; they really don't need it, it is
as simple as that.
Crowds form to gawk at one parked by the kerb, crowds
surge against barriers at Motor Shows, the tifosi (the fans) throng the
stands at motor races cheering their heroes on . To the tifosi Ferrari is
a religion. |
