Enzo Ferrari was an Italian motor racing driver and entrepreneur, the founder of the Scuderia Ferrari Grand Prix motor racing team, and subsequently the Ferrari automobile marque. Notorious for his strong personality and controversial management style, Ferrari’s automotive career began when he won the Coppa Acerbo for Alfa Romeo, a success which encouraged him to build his own raceteam and factory Alfa cars in the early 1930s. It was during this era that the iconic prancing horse emblem created by Italian fighter pilot Francesco Baracca, now synonymous with the brand, emerged.
