Enzo Mattioli Ferrari, a direct descendant of the legendary Enzo Ferrari and grandson of Piero Ferrari, serves as the CEO of Ferrari Family Investments and is a trustee of the Piero Ferrari Trust. As an entrepreneur dedicated to enhancing Italian heritage and promoting ‘Made in Italy’ products, Enzo is a passionate enthusiast and expert in the vintage automotive industry.
Through Ferrari Family Investments, he has chosen to invest in Cavallino Inc., an American company that has been publishing the bimonthly Cavallino magazine since 1978 and organizing the renowned Palm Beach Cavallino Classic Concorso d’Eleganza since 1992. This event is the largest in the world dedicated exclusively to Ferrari automobiles, and it has gained a global presence with new editions launched in Modena, Abu Dhabi, and the upcoming inaugural edition in Sydney.
This investment is particularly significant as it connects the Ferrari family with the world’s oldest independent project dedicated to preserving Enzo Ferrari’s legacy. This includes the cars, their history, their authentic preservation, and the extraordinary vision of a man who built a successful company with a unique image, driven by determination and deep passion.
Luigi Orlandini, who has guided Cavallino’s growth over the past four years since its acquisition by Canossa, continues to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO. Enzo Mattioli Ferrari has taken on the role of President.
“First of all, on behalf of everyone at Cavallino, I’d like to thank Enzo Mattioli Ferrari for believing in the Cavallino project,” said Luigi Orlandini.
“His expertise and passion present a tremendous opportunity for a project like Cavallino, which, thanks to his input and ideas, will further strengthen its leadership in the vintage car world. Having Enzo, the keeper of such a prestigious legacy, with us in an active role is an honor and makes us proud of the work we’ve done over the past few years.”
“I strongly believe in the Cavallino project, and for this reason, I am excited to participate in its development and growth, not just with financial investment, but with strategic involvement,” said Enzo Mattioli Ferrari upon being named President of Cavallino.
“For my family, the Prancing Horse (il Cavallino Rampante) has always been a symbol of our entrepreneurial, sporting, and cultural history. Cavallino has a crucial mission – to foster the passion for the Prancing Horse and to contribute to protecting Ferrari’s legacy, while supporting and promoting the continued growth of the vintage car sector.”
