Until 16th September the Galleria Ferrari is enriching its expositions dedicated to the 60 years of Ferrari with an original exhibition of posters of the competitions.

60 years of motor racing, narrated in an inventive way through automobile posters and manifestos from races in Italy and around the world from the year 1947 until today. A unique collection of 200 posters illustrates the history of the Scuderia Ferrari on the race tracks all over the world through the works of artists such as Fortunato Depero, Gino Boccasile, Marcello Dudovich and Plinio Codognato, who, everyone with his own style, are great representatives of Art Nouveau, Futurism and abstract art.

Represented on the posters exposed are the most important races for Ferrari, such as the Mille Miglia, the Targa Florio, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Nürburgring, races, which over many years have been marketed with Ferraristi drawings by Colonia, Van Husen or the unpredictable American Michael Turner. This original and unique collection, owned by Sergio Cassano, enables the visitors to take a look at the history of the Scuderia Ferrari and the way Ferrari has been represented over the last 60 years by famous artists, who were fascinated by the legend of the Prancing Horse.
 

Together with the exhibition of the manifestos some of the most significant trophies, won by Ferrari since its foundation, and two prestigious historic cars, the 500 F2 and the 750 Monza, can be seen. The 500 F2, the first car from Maranello with a 4-cylinder straight engine, became a real legend: it started in 15 races of the World Championship, winning 14, 11 of them with Alberto Ascari, gaining the world Championship title in 1952 and 1953. The 750 Monza was raced for the first time on a track on the occasion of the 1,000 kilometres of Monza in the year 1954, immediately gaining a double win. Although the most exciting race was the Tourist Trophy, with an exceptional performance by Hawthorn and Trintignant, who presented Ferrari with the victory in the World Championship.

Entry to the exhibition is included in the entrance ticket of the Galleria Ferrari, which is open from Monday to Sunday from 9:30 to 19:00h all through the summer.
