Ferrari is everywhere synonymous of speed, excellence, luxury and nevertheless little we know about the founder of one of the world's most famous brands, which for almost seventy years has dominated the sporting empire of cars and racing.
By carefully selecting information, Brock Yates sketches a faithful portrait of a man perceived by many as an indisputable icon, but in reality much more complex.
Who was really Enzo Ferrari? Was he the benevolent patron portrayed by the adoring press of the time? Or was a ruthless despot, capable of pushing his staff and drivers to the verge of madness?
What emerges from the few personal documents concerning him and the many testimonies of those who knew him is the image of a multifaceted character, torn between public and private life, tough, severe, sometimes cruel and a manipulator, but also deeply human.
The result of this investigation is Ferrari - L'uomo, l'auto, il mito, a monumental biography, which tells the story of one of the greatest myths of our time, along with his successes, behind the scenes and ambiguities.
Italian edition of the book Enzo Ferrari: The Man and the Machine, on which the screenplay - for the biographical part - of the film Ferrari by Michael Mann is largely based.
