FERRARI

Ciao ragazzi! 
Okay, so I'm going to get straight into it. Enzo Ferrari was the MAN! If you're not familiar with him have no worries. I don't mind sharing the very brief history I learned about him. 
Enzo Ferrari (1898-1988) was the owner and founder of Ferrari. He maintained ownership of the company throughout his life. During the post second world war period  Italy became less rural and more industrial. The Italian economic structure change contributed to Ferrari's success. Ferrari began with the production of a very small prototype released in 1946, and first driven in 1947.  Like most Italian business, the Ferrari company was family ran.  

According to the tour guide, the black horse was originally painted on the plane of a war hero. Ferrari met the parents of the war her. The mother told him to paint the image on the car and it would bring him good luck and protection. Surely he did. The 'rosso' Ferrari red color, and yellow background was chosen to represent Italy.
