| Description: |
Inaugurated in February 1990, until 1995 the Galleria Ferrari was run by the Comune of Maranello, owners of the fixtures and fittings. The new wing of the Galleria that was opened in October 2004 took the total surface area from 1700m³ to 2500m³, further enriching the exhibition area with new spaces and services. Situated only a short distance from the Ferrari plant and the Fiorano circuit, the Galleria, though it remains the property of the Comune of Maranello, has been run directly by Ferrari since 1995. Today, more than ever, it is has become the place where Ferrari’s past, present and future is preserved, giving the visitor a fascinating insight into the history of the Prancing Horse.The Galleria, ideally, is divided into four areas, each capable of satisfying the expectations of competition fans and those passionate about classic cars. Here visitors will find Formula 1, themed exhibitions, technological innovations and photographic shows.
Visits to the Galleria Ferrari are important not only for gaining an insight into the company’s history but also because the exhibits cover the important stages of the development of the automobile industry. In the 55 years of its existence, Ferrari has contributed extensively to these technological innovations and in improving safety measures.
The visit begins in the space where the automobiles are on display.These are the cars that are part of Ferrari’s history and that have raced on circuits all around the world. They range from the single-seater in which Froilan Gonzalez won the marque’s first world championship at Silverstone in 1951 to the latest all-conquering F1 car used by Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello. A series of monitors and evocative images tell the story of the men, machines and moments that have contributed to the company’s glorious history. One showcase displays all the most important trophies collected in over fifty years of competition, including those held aloft by Schumacher on podiums around the globe.
The amphitheatre hosts themed exhibitions that change every six to eight months as well as two driving simulators set in real F1 cars for those who want to experience the thrill of getting behind the wheel of a single seater in a championship race.
On the upper floor is a space dedicated to technological innovation. This area hosts special vehicles like the F50 and the 550 Barchetta Pininfarina and other experimental models. Also found here is a representation of the galleria del vento with the F1 cars from 1981 to today that have undergone aerodynamic tests. A zone detailing how F1 technology is applied to roadgoing cars is another attraction. Completing the exhibits is a line up of all the Formula 1 engines employed since 1981.
The visit ends heading back downstairs to the entrance area where the Ferrari Shop is situated. The shop is a branch of the larger Ferrari Store to be found opposite Ferrari’s main historic entrance in Via Abetone. Also here is a bookstore where it is possible to purchase all Ferrari’s publications. Further, there is a photo point where the visit can be captured on film and also a pleasant cafeteria. |
