The fascination of engines and the dream of becoming a racing driver, cherished since childhood. The childhood lived in an Emilia with a Guareschi flavour, amongst his father's carpenter's workshop and racing; the difficult years of the war, the races with Isotta Fraschini and Alfa Romeo.
And then the foundation, in 1929, of the Scuderia Ferrari, the bombing of the Maranello factory, the debut on track in 1947, the successes, the legendary drivers, from the "imprevedibile" Nuvolari to the "puntiglioso" Niki Lauda. Until the death of his son Dino, who would make his every joy "terribile" forever.
Enzo Ferrari tells anecdotes and feelings in this exceptional document for all motor racing history (and history tout court) enthusiasts. An autobiography published in the early 1960s, when ‘the Drake’ was already the most famous Italian in the world, updated in the following two decades and enriched by the tale of his son Piero, who completes the last years of the Grand Old Man's life with previously unpublished details.
Le mie gioie terribili. La storia della mia vita, a "confessione spregiudicata" of the man who, with the car everyone always dreamed of, became the symbol of Italian genius in the world.
306 pages. Text in Italian.
