The mayor of the town of Maranello, Giancarlo Bertacchini summed up the
reasons which prompted the Town Council to make this significant gesture
to the Ferrari President: "Under Montezemolo's guidance, Ferrari has once
again taken the Drivers' and Constructors' Formula One World
Championship titles and the marque's prestige continues to grow on the
world stage. Thanks to Montezemolo, ties between the company and the
area have grown closer. Ferrari has invested heavily in Maranello, with
projects like the Renzo Piano designed wind tunnel and new industrial
structures, currently under construction. The Galleria Ferrari is the most
visited museum in Modena Province and with the launch of the 550
Maranello, the name of our town now features on a Ferrari model." |
