The Auction House of the Motor Valley of Giusti and Battaglia offers over 150 lots that belonged to Mauro Forghieri. The engineer who passed away last year was the brilliant designer of Formula 1 single-seaters that made history. Mauro was technical director of Scuderia Ferrari from 1962 to 1971 and from 1973 to 1984, helping the Italian side win seven constructors’ titles and five drivers’ world titles.
Mauro Forghieri was not just a Ferrari man; he also worked for Lamborghini, for BMW and with Oral Engineering he collaborated on the design of military vehicles for civilian use.
Through documents, cups, objects, clothing and memorabilia that have covered his extraordinary career, Formula 1 fans will be able to bear witness to the friendship, gratitude and affection of many people towards the engineer.
