Mauro Forghieri

Designer and team manager of the scuderia in the seventies.

I had the luck of meeting him in person in the nineties where I shot these pics.

He signed the event poster for me and drew a little F1 car. One of the most cherished items in my collection.

PS: Oddly enough he was in a clothing store on the second floor (the shop was a sponsor at the event). Most people had no idea who he was. I almost fainted when I spotted him.

I just discovered this 6 years old thread. Thanks for posting these pictures. You had luck that day. I meet Ingegnere Forghieri during the GP in Hockenheim in 1981. He was with Ing. Antonio Tomaini. In the Alfa Romeo box I saw also Carlo Chiti. Great guys. Unfortunatelly no photos.

Thanks for the photos. These are my first for him in color. My collection of photographs and images from the internet now at over 1200. tonga's crew

 

Not that odd to find him in a tailors shop, not only an engineering god but a style icon.
Have you ever seen picture of him badly turned out? Or his boss for that matter?
