The Ferrari 60 Relay has spent the last few days on an emotional visit to some of Northern Italy's most beautiful and historical places, taking in a string of locations that are synonymous with the nation's car industry. As the Tour - which is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the unique sportscar maker - enters the final stages of its global mission, clients are carrying the special 'baton' in relays towards the final finish line in Maranello.

The thriving cities of Milan, Turin and Genoa have been on the itinerary over the weekend and this week as the 'baton' now prepares to cross to the island of Sardinia. The cavalcade of Maranello-built sportscars has now visited the legendary Fiat roof top test track located at the old Lingotto factory, taken to the historic steep banking at the Monza Grand Prix circuit and also stopped by Pininfarina's headquarters in Turin, as well as the factories of three leading Italian companies with a worldwide reach: MV Augusta, Beretta and Brembo.
