Ferrari

I am currently taking the most boring and ridiculous class I have ever taken. The plus side to this awful course is that the homework is not too hard and we only have class four days a week. With these two things combined I have had a ton a free time to get out and experience more of Italy!

The first excursion that I took this semester was to the town of Modena, the birthplace of the Ferrari. Due to the small size of the town the Galleria di Ferrari was extremely easy to find and our group wasted no time in getting inside. The place was not much bigger than a large car dealership but as the old saying goes it is not about quantity but quality.

The first room was completely full of Indy cars. The cars encompassed about the last 70 years of Ferrari racing and all of the cars on the showroom floor were champions. This included two of Michael Schumacher's Formula 1 behemoths. From this room we went up stairs to the two galleries of Ferrari's most famous production cars. They were all lined up and colored that same beautiful Ferrari red. From the showroom we left the town and just as we were about to get on the highway we caught a quick glimpse of the Ferrari test track. I cannot really do justice to the sights and experiences of the galleria with my words so hopefully these pictures will give a little taste of the amazing vehicles on display in Modena.
