    I have pics of it somewhere, the F1 drivers stay in it now, when testing........

    My 1988 Annual has a VERY poignent letter by Alboreto, together with a picture of he and Enzo taken from behind, arm in arm, walking into the front door.

    Very apt metaphor, I thought......

    RIP Enzo
    RIP Alboreto

    I had heard that and I also heard the Michael pretty much lived there while he was racing for the team...

    Since Enzo's passing it is used by the whole F1 squadron, yea, I'd imagine Pierro has a key.....LOL!

    as Montana's restaurant there in Maranello someday... Apparently the place is just full of Ferrari memorabilia and a number of the employees as well.

    The only problem with the house is you have to come out of the driveway doing 175mph to merge!

    Now that house my friend's is sacred ground! When I make my pilgrimage I want to take a blade of grass or some dirt home with me and enshrine it!

    Wow talk about sacred ground and heritage. I can just imagine that the executives when confronted by a problem ask, 'What would Enzo do?" Great legacy.

    I remember reading that his bedroom is just as it was when he occupied it. I'm assuming then that there are parts of the house shut up from "normal" (read, "mere mortals") people?

    I get chills just looking at the picutures. If ever there was a heaven on earth...



    ....merging at 175 mph.........:):):):):):):) I laughed out loud.

    Proof that Enzo understood the 3 laws of real-estate, too...

    Not really a "problem" since one must get up to speed to merge into traffic safely.

    Also, there was probably a rule: anyone who runs into Enzo is fired.!;)

    What a great find! Thank you for sharing. It looks like a nice house. Satellite dish, nice view, plenty of parking space. The low building to the right might be a garage. I wonder what was in it when he died.
