Available for auction is a Ferrari Cavallino Rampante. This striking piece is stated by the seller to be crafted from solid aluminum and measures approximately 36" tall with a total weight of approximately 10 lbs. On the back, an official engraving reads, "Ferrari 1976 - Maranello, Italy.”
As an internationally recognizable symbol, this iconic prancing horse (Cavallino Rampante) is said to have been first seen as a symbol on the Italian fighter plane flown by Francesco Baracca during World War One. Historians note that Baracca was killed in 1918 when his Spad VII was shot down by a rival Austrian aircraft. Soon after, Enzo Ferrari supposedly met the parents of Baracca at a local racing event in which they suggested putting the Cavallino symbol on his racecars for good luck. The story goes on that Enzo Ferrari eventually created his own version of this logo which is seen on the cars produced then and in the present day.
Whether you're a Ferrari aficionado or an enthusiast of automobilia, this Ferrari sign would make an excellent addition to your garage or collection. The buyer is responsible for shipping, handling, and transactional fees.
