Enzo Mattioli Ferrari, a direct descendant of the iconic Enzo Ferrari and grandson of Piero, serves as the CEO of Ferrari Family Investments and Trustee of the Piero Ferrari Trust. With a deep commitment to preserving Italian heritage and promoting 'Made in Italy' products, Enzo Mattioli Ferrari is not only a passionate enthusiast but also a seasoned expert in the vintage automotive sector. Through Ferrari Family Investments, he has chosen to invest in Cavallino Inc., the American company that has been publishing the bimonthly Cavallino magazine since 1978 and organizing the prestigious Palm Beach Cavallino Classic Concorso d’Eleganza since 1992. This event stands as the largest in the world dedicated solely to Ferrari automobiles, now with a global footprint thanks to recent editions in Modena, Abu Dhabi, and the upcoming inaugural event in Sydney.
This strategic move is particularly significant, as it aligns the Ferrari family with the oldest independent initiative dedicated to preserving Enzo Ferrari's legacy: his cars, their history, their preservation in original condition, and, importantly, the extraordinary vision of a man who built a successful company with a distinctive image, driven by his unwavering determination and profound passion. Luigi Orlandini, who has spearheaded the dynamic growth of Cavallino over the past four years since its acquisition by Canossa, continues to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of Cavallino. Enzo Mattioli Ferrari has now taken on the role of President.
"First and foremost, on behalf of everyone at Cavallino, I’d like to express our gratitude to Enzo Mattioli Ferrari for his belief in the Cavallino project," said Luigi Orlandini. "His expertise and passion present a remarkable opportunity for a venture like Cavallino, which, bolstered by his insights and ideas, will further cement its leadership in the vintage car realm. Having Enzo, the guardian of such a prestigious legacy, actively involved is both an honor and a testament to the hard work we’ve put in over the years."
"I am deeply committed to the Cavallino project and, for this reason, I am thrilled to be part of its development and expansion, not just through financial investment, but with strategic engagement," remarked Enzo Mattioli Ferrari upon his appointment as President. "For my family, the Prancing Horse (il Cavallino Rampante) has always been a symbol of our entrepreneurial, sporting, and cultural heritage. Cavallino holds a vital mission – to nurture the passion for the Prancing Horse and to contribute to safeguarding Ferrari’s legacy, while supporting and promoting the ongoing growth of the vintage car sector."
Cavallino Inc., founded in 1978 and based in the U.S., is dedicated to the world of Ferrari. It publishes the eponymous magazine and organizes the renowned concours d'elegance in Palm Beach, Florida. First published in September/October 1978, the bimonthly Cavallino Magazine is widely considered the most authoritative source of information in the classic Ferrari community. The Cavallino Classic, the world’s largest event exclusively for Ferrari automobiles, has been held in Palm Beach since 1992. Following its acquisition by Canossa, Cavallino has expanded globally, with new editions in Modena, Abu Dhabi, and the forthcoming edition in Sydney. Cavallino is owned by Canossa, a global leader in high-profile automotive events, which is itself a member of the duPont REGISTRY Group, the world’s premier luxury platform that integrates the culture, community, and commerce of the high-end automotive lifestyle.
