    Can anyone provide contact information for a tour of the Scaglietti Factory?

    This thread: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=252514 lead me to wonder how to get a tour of the Scaglietti factory. I have been to the Ferrari Factory and the Scaglietti tour is not part of that as they only take you around the Ferrari assembly areas. I will be going later this year to Italy and seeing the bodies being assembled would be a great way to spend a day.

    Thanks in advance.

    Scaglietti is no longer an independent entity. It was bought by Fiat at the time of the Ferrari acquisition.

    The old Scalgietti works (at least in the 90s) on Via Emilia Est and signed Ferrari Engineering.

    THe new cars are mainly stamped, I presume by Gilco, so no more tree stumps and hammers.

    Thanks guys. I knew they owned Scaglietti, but I thought that Scaglietti Sub still technically made the bodies. I found this from a 2006 Alcoa press release:

    Until now, Alcoa produced the components at their own plants in Hungary, Germany and the Netherlands and sent them to the Ferrari factory in Italy where Alcoa personnel assembled them into full space frames at Scaglietti Works, Ferrari's body panel facility. With the new state-of-the-art 5,000-square-meter, million-euro facility, Alcoa will produce the space frames on site. The factory includes two high-speed robotic machining centers, two robotic joining centers and 12 space-frame assembly cells.

    This implies that Alcoa makes and supplies the frames, but the bodies are put together by Scaglietti.

    Any ideas?
