Enzo Mattioli Ferrari, a direct descendant of the legendary Enzo Ferrari and grandson of Piero Ferrari, has recently become an investor in Cavallino Inc. through Ferrari Family Investments, where he serves as CEO.
Cavallino Inc. has been publishing the bimonthly Cavallino magazine since 1978 and organizing the renowned Palm Beach Cavallino Classic Concorso d’Eleganza since 1992. This is the largest event in the world dedicated exclusively to Ferrari automobiles, now with a global presence thanks to recently launched editions in Modena, Abu Dhabi, and the upcoming first edition in Sydney.
This decision holds special significance, as it brings the Ferrari family into the world’s oldest independent project dedicated to preserving Enzo Ferrari’s legacy. His cars, their history, their preservation in authentic condition, and the extraordinary vision of a man who built a successful company with a unique image, driven by his determination and deep passion, will live on for eternity.
As an entrepreneur with a strong commitment to enhancing Italian heritage and promoting “Made in Italy” products, Enzo Mattioli Ferrari is a passionate enthusiast and, above all, an expert in the vintage automotive industry.
Enzo Mattioli Ferrari has assumed the role of President
“First of all, on behalf of everyone at Cavallino, I’d like to thank Enzo Mattioli Ferrari for believing in the Cavallino project,” said Luigi Orlandini. “His expertise and passion present a tremendous opportunity for a project like Cavallino, which, thanks to his input and ideas, will further strengthen its leadership in the vintage car world. Having Enzo, the keeper of such a prestigious legacy, with us in an active role is an honor and makes us proud of the work we’ve done over the past few years.”
“I strongly believe in the Cavallino project, and for this reason, I am excited to participate in its development and growth, not just with financial investment, but with strategic involvement,” said Enzo Mattioli Ferrari upon being named President of Cavallino. “For my family, the Prancing Horse (il Cavallino Rampante) has always been a symbol of our entrepreneurial, sporting, and cultural history. Cavallino has a crucial mission – to foster the passion for the Prancing Horse and to contribute to protecting Ferrari’s legacy while supporting and promoting the continued growth of the vintage car sector.”
Luigi Orlandini, who has led the dynamic growth of Cavallino over the past four years since its acquisition by Canossa, will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of Cavallino.
