ENZO. IL SOGNO DI UN RAGAZZO
Modena, 1899. The Romantic century of revolutions and discoveries is making way for a new epoch, but the city celebrates its patron saint as always amidst fairground stalls and the ancient aromas of wine and salami.
Clutched to his mother's bosom, the newborn Enzo sleeps in the enchanting atmosphere. Suddenly, there is a great commotion, shouting, a stream of people fleeing: behind them is an astonishing vehicle, a mumbling carriage moving forward without horses. The first car ever seen in Modena. At the wheel is Fredo, the father of Enzo.
Enrico Brizzi accords the timeless voice of the storyteller to the pace of great contemporary novels, to recount the youth of a legend of his land, Enzo Ferrari.
Enzo. Il sogno di un ragazzo, the first volume of a saga dedicated to the "Signore delle Rosse", vibrates with the music that accompanies the journey between childhood and adulthood: the warmth and fatigue of family life, the unveiling of a vocation, first love, challenges and difficulties.
Alongside the young Ferrari live unforgettable characters in these pages, starting with his mother Gisa, an instinctive pioneer of women's rights, and Dino, his brother full of literary and nationalist suggestions; up to Negus, his thug friend with a golden heart, and Norma, the only girl capable of making Enzo understand the language of hope.
Protagonists and co-protagonists move through the epic scenario of a country in turmoil due to Futurism and socialist strikes, the decadent style of D'Annunzio and the inflamed speeches of a still revolutionary Mussolini. Awaiting Enzo and the whole Italy, the terrible ordeal of the Great War…
