How A Poor Italian Boy Created Ferrari

The true story of Enzo Ferrari is one of the most extraordinary rags-to-riches journeys in business history — a poor Italian boy who lost everything before he built something the world would never forget. He was rejected for a job by the most powerful car company in Italy, watched his family fall apart, survived a world war, and got kicked out of the racing team he'd spent two decades building — yet somehow he would go on to create a brand worth over eighty billion dollars and become the most feared name in motorsport. What most people don't know is how close Enzo Ferrari came to losing it all more than once, the dark personal tragedy that haunted his greatest years of success, and why he once tore up a contract worth millions from America's biggest car company without a second thought. This is not the polished legend — this is the real story behind the prancing horse, and the obsession that made it unstoppable.
