Lamborghini, a fantastic story of motors and wine began building a tractor.

It is said that Enzo Ferrari one day, addressing Ferruccio Lamborghini said: “You continue to build tractors and let me build sports cars."Enzo Ferrari, however, was usually also speak: “If you can dream it you can do”.

Lamborghini, class 1916, historical founder of Automobili Lamborghini. The son of farmers, but with the mechanics in the DNA. A passion for cars that I understand and agree. Driving pleasure is born with us, is freedom index, is carefree travel and. Per me, for my son and for many other, is so.

A few days ago, led by Fabio Lamborghini, Big nipote Ferruccio, I had the pleasure of visiting the museum brainchild of his son Tonino, now engaged in lifestyle. In 5000 square meters of exhibition of the new forum opened 27 May 2014, I could see over twelve original prototypes of the legendary MiuraSV personal Ferruccio, his helicopter, the futuristic Countach '74, la da golf car usata Pope Karol Wojtyla, Off Shore marine engines with a Lamborghini pluricampioni, and much of the historical production of an Italian genius that made us famous in the world.

Today, for those who still do not know, I'll tell you a little’ di's…

Ferruccio Lamborghini made his first workshop in the barn of a house Renazzo, in the province of Ferrara. After the war, starting from the needs of the campaign, built the first tractor at low cost, The Carioca, a term used in the area to indicate a product assembled with existing pieces and modified. In fact it was built with remnants of war and the recent war.

A tractor accessible to all, presented for the first time at the Fiera di San Biagio di Cento. L’unico ‘neo’ was the gasoline engine, so no low-cost. For what it was decided to design a component called 'vaporizer' so as to allow the engine to operate in oil. The gas was used only in the initial phase for the ignition. In the first four-cylinder model 1946, and six in the next 1947, most powerful.

Loving sports cars and high-speed, in 1946 decided to change his Mickey Mouse both in body and in the engine, until they reach the 140 km all’ora. With this car, still functioning and present in the museum of the company, competed in 1948 to the Mille Miglia. On the front you can see the first logo used by the home, a triangle with three letters FLC (Ferruccio Lamborghini Hundred), then replaced in 1963 under the brand name of 'bull', zodiac sign of Ferruccio.

Fabio Lamborghini, Director of the museum of the same name, lead me in the eye when he told me Ferruccio, on his Ferrari 250 Gt, replaced the original clutch defective with the more robust of a tractor Lamborghini, brilliantly solving the problem. In May 1963, after having bought land in Sant'Agata Bolognese 25 km from the capital of Emilia, he decided to build his own sports car. Thus was born 'Automobili Lamborghini', and began producing a series of self among the most beautiful in the world.

In 1971, during a trip to Umbria, Ferruccio enchanted by the beauty of the land of the green heart of Italy, decided to buy an estate and invest in agriculture and wine production by creating an adjoining Resort with Golf Club. An activity that continues from the 90s with the management of his daughter Patrizia.

Despite the property of Automobili Lamborghini is no longer Italian years, the soul of this brand for me is that. Many companies are now owned by foreign multinationals, because of the difficulties of doing business in Italy, and certainly not by our skilled craftsmen. Ferruccio Lamborghini died 20 February 1993. Him remain his major creations.

I leave you with images and dreams roaring ...
