Date: 6 June 2014 International Maserati Centennial Gathering To be held in September Three days from Modena to Turin, with a racetrack stop in Cremona, to celebrate Maserati’s first century. With a prologue in Bologna at the Fountain of Neptune, which inspired Maserati’s logo. The International Maserati Centennial Gathering will be held from September 18 through September 20. The world event will begin in Modena on Thursday, September 18, and end in Turin on Saturday, September 20. The three days will see a succession of exhibitions, parades, a regularity race, a track test, a visit to the two Maserati factories and a concours d'elegance. Cars and collectors from all over the world are expected to be in attendance. A hundred years have gone by since, in December of 1914, Alfieri Maserati and his brothers Ettore and Ernesto opened the first car repair workshop in a basement on Via de’ Pepoli, Bologna. Here, before Italy entered the First World War and in the months that immediately followed the end of the conflict, they began to prepare and modify cars for themselves – the three Maserati brothers were also rather capable drivers – and the gentleman drivers of those heroic days. These were the first steps of a company that in time was to become an international icon of Italian motoring. The Maserati Centennial Gathering will begin in the morning on Thursday, September 18, in Modena with the arrival of the historic and contemporary models that will be taking part in the event and their display in some of the most captivating urban spaces. The program for the afternoon involves, firstly, a visit to the Exhibition at the Museo Casa Enzo Ferrari dedicated to the Maserati Centennial and then to the historic Viale Ciro Menotti factory. Here, where Maserati GranTurismos and GranCabrios and the Alfa Romeo 4C roll off the production lines every day, dinner will be served. The next day, Friday, September 19, the participants will make their way to Turin. The first stop is the San Martino del Lago Circuit near Cremona, which will host track sessions and pay homage to Baconin Borzacchini and his Maserati V4 ‘16 cylinder, in which the Italian driver set – in Cremona – the world record over the Flying 10 Kilometres on 28 September 1929. After the activity on the track, the historic Maserati convoy will parade through the streets of Cremona before racing on to Turin. The Maseratis will line up in Piazza Castello in Piedmont’s main city. A gala dinner at the Reggia of Venaria palace is set for the evening. Scheduled for the morning of Saturday, September 20, the third and final day of the event, are a visit to the Avv. Giovanni Agnelli Plant, where Maserati Ghiblis and Quattroportes are built, and the final leg of the regularity race, towards the Basilica of Superga. The afternoon will see the concluding event: the Concours d’Elegance in Piazza San Carlo. A genuine curtain-raiser for the three days from Modena to Turin will be staged in Bologna on Wednesday, September 17. On that day, Maserati collectors can have their photos taken with their car next to the Fountain of Neptune, the inspiration for Maserati’s logo, and see the exact location – Via de’ Pepoli 1 – where Maserati was born, one hundred years ago. From today, the Centennial Gathering section on the www.maserati100.it (Italian) and www.maserati100.com(English) sites will contain all the information that Maserati customers and collectors who take part in the International Maserati Event in September may need..

The unique exhibition hosts a priceless collection of historic models and gives visitors the opportunity to relive the history of Maserati through technology that transports you to the heart of the event. A unique exhibition dedicated to the Centennial of Maserati was inaugurated in Modena this morning. MASERATI 100 - A Century of Pure Italian Luxury Sports Cars retraces the story of the Italian car manufacturer through an exhibition featuring some of the Trident marque’s most significant road and racing cars, plus a highly engaging show employing 19 projectors, enabling visitors to relive the most significant moments in the history of Maserati and to learn about the individuals who shaped its history. Staged in the futuristic Enzo Ferrari Museum, a stone's throw from the Maserati headquarters in Viale Ciro Menotti, the exhibition will run until January 2015. Considering the historic value of the models exhibited, this is the greatest exhibition of Maserati cars ever staged anywhere in the world. The inauguration of the new exhibition was attended by the CEO of Maserati, Harald Wester, and the Chairman of Ferrari, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo. They were joined by the cousins Carlo and Alfieri Maserati, sons, respectively, of Ettore and Ernesto Maserati, the two brothers who in 1914, together with Alfieri Maserati, founded the company that still bears their name today. The guest of honour at the inauguration was the legendary Sir Stirling Moss, the 1950s Maserati racing driver who scooped incredible victories for the Trident marque.

Date: 29 July 2014 Maserati Centennial Exhibition Open Throughout
Date: 29 July 2014 Maserati centennial exhibition open throughout the summer A unique exhibition in terms of the quality of the models on show, like the only remaining V4 16 cylinder and the A6 1500 of 1947, Maserati’s first road-going car. It’s held at the MEF, the Museo Enzo Ferrari, which “looks at” the Maserati headquarters in Viale Ciro Menotti, Modena and which also exhibits extraordinary Ferraris and Alfa Romeos. A month on from the opening of the exhibition dedicated to the Maserati centennial, MASERATI 100 - A Century of Pure Italian Luxury Sports Cars , the initial response from the public has been highly positive, with nearly 20,000 visitors. The celebration of a century of history for a car manufacturer allows the public to relive the story of an epoch and thrill, as they observe the course of events and unfolding of technological progress both through the cars on display and a film that stirs the passion of visitors with no fewer than 19 different projectors. Through anecdotes, curiosities, stories of exceptional men, rare and prestigious vehicles, also due to their current financial value. Visitors have the opportunity – unique, rather than rare – to admire the only Maserati Tipo V4 Sport 16 cylinderstill remaining in the world. In 1929 Alfieri Maserati twinned two 2-litre engines from the Tipo 26 in a single crankcase, with the two crankshafts linked by gears. On 28th September of the same year in Cremona, Baconin Borzacchini set the World Record for the Flying 10 Kilometres with the Tipo V4, at an average speed of 246.069 km/h.

La Storia Dell'alfa Romeo Dal 1910 Ai Giorni Nostri
LA STORIA DELL’ALFA ROMEO DAL 1910 AI GIORNI NOSTRI La storia dell'Alfa Romeo, Casa automobilistica italiana nota per la produzione di autovetture a carattere sportivo, iniziò il 24 giugno 1910 con la fondazione a Milano dell'ALFA (acronimo di "Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili"). Nel 1918 l'azienda cambiò nome in "Alfa-Romeo" in seguito all'acquisizione del controllo della società da parte dell’industriale napoletano Nicola Romeo. Nel 1933 la proprietà dell'Alfa Romeo passò, attraverso l'IRI (Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale), allo Stato italiano, a causa del forte indebitamento che la società aveva contratto con le banche a partire dal decennio precedente. L'Alfa Romeo continuò a produrre vetture in modo semi artigianale fino all'inizio degli anni cinquanta, quando si trasformò in un'industria automobilistica vera e propria grazie all'introduzione della catena di montaggio nei reparti produttivi. A partire da questo decennio l'Alfa Romeo conobbe una fase di crescente successo che raggiunse il suo culmine negli anni sessanta. 1 Negli anni settanta ci fu invece un'inversione di tendenza che causò una profonda crisi. I conti in rosso portarono poi lo Stato italiano, nel 1986, a vendere la Casa automobilistica al gruppo Fiat. Il rilancio dell'Alfa Romeo avvenne infine nella seconda parte degli anni novanta. L’ALFA Le origini dell'Alfa Romeo hanno ascendenze francesi e napoletane. La genesi del marchio è infatti collegata alla fondazione della Società Italiana Automobili Darracq, che fu costituita a Napoli il 6 aprile 1906. L'avventura imprenditoriale si rivelò però subito irta di difficoltà soprattutto a causa dell'elevata lontananza della città di Napoli dalla Francia.

Grand Prix Facts & Numbers
There is no way to know when and who exactly invented the internal combustion power concept, but in 1860 Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoir patented a gas-fired apparatus with piston, cylinder, connecting rods, and flywheel that became commercially viable. Nikolaus Otto improved the concept into a more efficient four-stroke internal combustion unit in 1876. Then in 1885, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach developed the design further and patented a practical petrol engine. Few months later Daimler constructed the first real automobile, and in 1912 Peugeot introduced the modern twin-cam engine concept. The first racing driver in history was arguably Frenchman Georges Bouton, who raced a De Dion-Bouton alone against the clock from Pont de Neuilly to Bois de Boulogne in Paris as early as 28 April 1887, but the first recorded auto race was held on 22 July 1894 on the route from Paris to Rouen. Within months, more races were held in France, Italy and the USA, and the era of city-to-city auto racing took off. By the turn of the century there were about 25 annual automobile races held in Europe and North America. However, until 1901 there was no proper definition of what constituted ‘an automobile’. The winners of the 1894 Paris-Rouen (Comte Jules de Dijon) and the 1895 Paris- Bordeaux-Paris (Émile Levassor) races were denied prize money because the organizers have decided that their vehicles were not viable as passenger road cars. The steam powered De Dijon-Bouton was classified as a tractor. First petrol engine car across the finish line was a Peugeot of Georges Lemaître, who arrived several minutes after de Dijon.
