The city itself is situated among the farms and countryside south of Modena in the region of Emelia Romagna, which is famous for great meat sauces. After traveling through the farms of the area, entering the city of Maranello is traveling to another world. The city revolves around the company and factory. The local restaurants ,bistros and bars each display with proud pictures, memorabilia and flags of the car and it creator. Everywhere there is full of color red, yellow and black, which are the main color of FERRARI brand. Plants with red flowers lined the streets of the city, joining in the Ferrari celebration. Bright banners hanging across the main street remind you that you are in the Ferrari corral. The small town looks as if its local sports team was in the State championship.
At the 'official' Ferrari store, employees dress in the uniforms worn by the Ferrari pit crew. The shelves are filled with Ferrari paraphanalia from hats, shirts and posters to flags and bathrobes. Besides the cheerleader and fan material, there are also products like laptops and furniture made with old Ferrari parts.

Questions:
1) Do You think that that’s kind of events like Italian Culture week should be also in our country ?
2) Why Ferrari brands is one of the most popular brand of car in the world?
1. I would compare Italian Culture week (more or less)to EXPO and Night of Museums. So then your question makes no sense because we already have it.
ReplyDelete2. Probably because of the tradition and its history , quality (I know it’s hard to imagine that Italian car concern can be good. But fortunately the only one thing which Ferrari has in common with FIAT or Alfa Romeo is the brand group :D), engagement in motorsport or even prices. Unfortunately in Poland when you think “Ferrari” you see a rube thanks to our great celebrities.
1. I don't agree with s4504. The Night of Museums is a great initiative but it's not the same. I believe we need Polish Culture Week, because we are not aware of our own value as a nation. That could be a good treatment for our complexes :-)
ReplyDelete2. No idea... Perhaps good marketing and tradition are the reasons?
Italian Culture Week seems a great initiative. For me, it's always a pleasure to see that kind of events.
ReplyDelete1. Yeah I guess so, the more the better.
ReplyDelete2. Probably because of the great design and the price tag which says everything about your status.
I think that events like Italian Culture week should also be held in our beautiful country, everyone should be aware of their nationality. Every Pole should know what his country was and what it is.
ReplyDeleteFerrari is the most popular brand in the world because it is the one of the best, fastest and made in a very luxurious car with a really great quality.
Yeah, culture week in Poland!!! Sounds great.
ReplyDeleteAnd what would we present? “Oscypek” and “Kapusta kiszona” party, near „żurek” and „grochowa” event? Unfortunately in every part of Polish history we can find: big food feast with drunkenness.
I think every country should have their own private parties. Characteristic for that region. For example: Italy – Italian Culture Week, Germany – OctoberFest, USA – 4th July Parade…
We have also the World Famous event - Plus CAMERIMAGE.
Why Ferrari? Maybe because of a prestige? Show me your car and I will tell you who you are? Tradition, luxury and the price.
Except Ferrari also Lamborghini is Italian and the most needed car on the world.
There should be the culture week in Poland with our national food, music, dancing and so one. I only afraid that it can exchange in national drunken party with a main star - VODKA!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but to be the owner of F50 sounds great;)
1. I think it is a great initiative but I also think that Italian have a little more to show for their culture. A polish culture week would have to have an interesting idea behind it because polish people tend to think that all we have to offer as a country is vodka and sausage.
ReplyDelete2. Ferrari has a long tradition and the cars are very good quality, that's why it is successful brand.
Promoting our culture is very important. Of course we organize such a events like the night of museums but it will be always not enough. Culture week in Poland sound great. We have some history we can be proud of and I mean also history of art, history of our traditions etc. that is worth to remember and worth to share with new generations, Besides when we compare our culture to american one it's obvious we really have something to show and to tell about.
ReplyDeleteAnd about Ferrari it's so famous because of quality I think.
1. That kind of events are popular in Poland, it is called "dożynki":)
ReplyDelete2. I don't agree that Ferrari is the most popular brand of car in the world, when I see statistics of Toyota:)
1. Yes, as it makes us more international and open-minded for others.
ReplyDelete2) Ferrari brand is luxury, and probably connected with Italian design style which is the most influential one in fashion and design.
