The visit to Italy of the "Chefs des Chefs" Club, the association of top chefs cooking for Heads of State from all over the world, has encompassed a trip to Maranello.

Used to serving prime ministers, chancellors and kings and queens in their home countries, yesterday they "feasted with their eyes": the dream cars from the Prancing Horse.

The chefs were curious and asked many questions about the cars, but also about the campus of Maranello, where they were able to visit several buildings, such as the wind tunnel - the Galleria del Vento - and the assembly lines at the Nuova Meccanica, but also the product development centre and the brand new assembly lines. Here they saw the different phases of the assembly of the new Ferrari California, admiring the workmanship that goes into a Ferrari, while one of the guests commented: "It's like in a kitchen: in the end there are the best ingredients and it's the cook's touch which makes the difference".

After the visit the guests were invited to the Galleria Ferrari to experience first hand the tradition of Ferrari, because just like in a kitchen it's important not to forget one's own history.
