Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Best book ever on Enzo Ferrari.

[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

I had focused my Ferrari book collection more on the cars than the story of the man. I have the very few, essential books about him. After all these years, I just picked up for myself before Christmas his “Piloti Che Gente” work (in English).

 

Is this edition you mention Michel, along the same lines as the uber-expensive “Ferrari” limited edition written by Pino Allievi? This copy got a glowing review in the latest edition of the FCA Prancing Horse magazine, that I get the impression it is THE book on Enzo. I suppose so with a price tag of $6000 for a basic version...

 

It’s a sad realization that almost anybody that was directly involved with the Old Man have either left us, or are not doing too well now and are just as old as when he passed.

“ENZO FERRARI POWER, POLITICS, AND THE MAKING OF AN AUTOMOTIVE EMPIRE by Laca Dal Monte. David Bull Publishing. ISBN: 978 1 935007 28 9. Published in 2016 but my edition is 2018.

I have read a lot of books on Ferrari since the 70s. Still have them all. But this is by far the best ever. it’s 954 pages long with many black and white pictures. What I like the most about it, is that it is written in a chronological order. Each chapter is one year, or just about. Every thing is so detailed and well documented with ‘ENDNOTES’ at the end of every chapter. The author has interviewed so many people close to Enzo, its incredible.

I’m up to page 667. I couldn’t wait to finish to share my thoughts with you guys. This is a must for every Enzo Ferrari fan.

Has anybody read it ?

Have a good week!
