Ferrari Museum in Modena - Private Tour from Rome

The Museo Enzo Ferrari delivers a unique and enthralling museum experience that takes visitors back to the roots of the world’s most famous marque. Topped by a striking yellow car bonnet-inspired roof that stands out against the Modena skyline, the Museo not only tells the story of Ferrari’s founding father but also showcases some of the most beautiful cars ever built. The Museo Enzo Ferrari also encompasses the former workshop of Enzo Ferrari’s father which has been meticulously restored and now houses the Museum of Ferrari Engines where visitors can see the Prancing Horse’s most experimental power units as well as the perfect engines that equip the track and road cars that have given such satisfaction to both Ferrari and its tifosi.

“Ask a child to draw a car and certainly he will do it in red.”
(Cit. Enzo Ferrari)
The Museum Enzo Ferrari Modena is located where Enzo Ferrari’s birth house used to be and where his father’s workshop still stands. Instead of the house where Enzo Ferrari grew up, there’s now a futuristic looking mega hall dedicated to the history of Ferrari and different models Enzo designed.
The Ferrari red and the Prancing Horse logo It’s the brand that defines Italian sports cars, despite its luxury neighbors Maserati and Lamborghini just down the road. Even if you’re not a racing or car enthusiast, take the Ferrari tour which, for sure, will give you a real appreciation for the legendary brand even if you’re not a race car fan. For racing fans, a visit here is no doubt at the top of your Italy bucket list! His father’s workshop and the house where he was born - parts of which are open to the public - stand in the shadow of the new modern glass museum, the design of which was inspired by bonnets (hoods) of cars built in the ‘50s. Walking through the doors into the museum feels like you’re entering a cathedral, and Ferrari fans no doubt would agree. Here's where the history begins. To have a full appreciation of what that Prancing Horse stands for, you need a full appreciation of where Enzo Ferrari came from and his evolution from a race car driver to racing division Manager at Alfa Romeo, to a developer and builder of one of the premier marques in automobile history. And it’s here in the Modena museum where you’ll experience that. The pavilion is stunning in its design, with Ferraris on raised platforms and an enormous wraparound film screen on which a video is played every half hour that showcases Enzo's life story and the cars and moments that defined his career. Each car has a small plaque on the pedestal describing the model, year it was built and how many were built. What I also found interesting were the ones that had the name of famous people or celebrities who had bought one. One model - the Ferrari F40 built from 1987 to 1992 - had an original production plan of only 400 but eventually more than doubled that number due to preproduction orders. It was designed to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary and was the last Ferrari automobile personally approved by Enzo Ferrari.
