The movies are back in the spotlight once again at the
Galleria Ferrari in Maranello with the opening of the second
exhibition devoted to the actors and films that have
contributed to enhancing the Ferrari legend worldwide.
As part of the Company's 60th Anniversary celebrations, this
latest exhibition includes a selection of over 40 previously
unseen photographs taken from the Ferrari Archive and
featuring international film stars who fell under the spell
of the Prancing Horse either on set or in their private
lives. Stars immortalised at the wheels of their Ferraris,
during visits to the Ferrari factory or on the sets of their
films and now seen for the first time in public in a special
exhibition with all the magic of the silver screen.
Clips from over 70 different films have been edited together
too to tell the story of Ferrari's output over the last 60
years through cameos from its most glittering car stars.
The Ferrari legend has inspired both Cinecittą and Hollywood
since the company's foundation and Prancing Horse sports cars have
starred in some very unforgettable scenes, sharing the screen
with the likes of Ava Gardner and Gregory Peck in the black
and white films of the 1950s and Sofia Loren and Marcello
Mastroianni in the classic movies of the 1960s. They've also
featured in the films of Alain Delon and Walter Matthau, the
cult series of the 1970s, and, of course, in some of the most
lavish Hollywood blockbuster films of today.

The exhibition also includes a selection of posters,
advertisements and stills from movies old and new as well,
of course, as some of the stunning cars themselves,
including the 250 GT California, which appeared in the
Vittorio De Sica's unforgettable Yesterday, Today and
Tomorrow and Roger Vadim's Dangerous Liaisons.
A taste of what the exhibition has to offer will also be on
show at the Ferrari Stores in Milan and Rome, from April
17th to May 7th and then from May 9th to May 30th respectively.
The exhibition runs until June 30th and is included in the
price of the admission ticket to the Galleria which is open
every day from 9.30 to 18.00 (and until 19.00 on May 1st).
