Enzo Ferrari Museum: Structure and events
The building houses enormous windows that flood the rooms with natural light, enhancing the colours and shapes of the vehicles that are displayed year after year. There are several temporary and permanent exhibitions, among which we would like to mention the event "Maserati 100 - A Century of Pure Italian Luxury Sports Cars", dedicated to the centenary of the Modena company.
Events planned for 2017 at the Museo Enzo Ferrari include the Take Off Day organised by Italian Design Instituteday of presentation of students' projects, at the end of the Master in Car Design based in Turin. The event will take place on Saturday 1 April from 3 to 6 p.m. and will be attended by the 15 students of the training course that ended last November.
The working groups into which the students will be divided will present their project on the theme 'mid-engined Ferrari berlinetta', using the Ferrari 458 Italia.
In keeping with the tradition of the Ferrari brand, the students will try their hand at anticipating new trends in car design, introducing elements of modernity and innovation into a historic project: an opportunity for the young designers to put themselves to the test with a fascinating challenge in an exceptional location, sharing ideas and insights within one of the temples of Italian car design.
The prestigious designers will coordinate the activities Maurizio Corbi - senior car designer at Pininfarina - and Marco Amadiowinner of numerous international awards in the automotive sector.
