Bronze column of five meters high and two meters in diameter, as a sort of Traian Column, portraying the most meaningful phases of Enzo Ferrari's life.
A long band runs around the 'column' in a ascending spiral. On this spiral are depicted the most significant scenes and episodes of Enzo Ferrari's long life and glorious career, the people he cares for, his collaborators, mechanics, races. the victories, the self-defense, the whole epoch of Drake and the legendary car factory he founded. At the culmination of this spiral path is the figure of Ferrari, the rampant horse and the wing of victory. The recognizable characters are Enzo Ferrari, his sons Dino and Piero, and his grandchild Enzino, and further the Nuvolari driver and Sergio Pininfarina, the great designer of the most famous models of trucking cars. The other figures do not have precise identities: they are pilots and technicians who are cultivated in dynamic actions with cars that have made the story of rampant horse.
In 1998, Modena celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of Enzo Ferrari, the founder of the renowned automobile company that takes its name. Among the many events organized, there was also the realization of a celebratory monument of 'Drake', wanted by his son Piero Landi Ferrari and donated by him to the municipality of Modena. The work was commissioned to Marino Quartieri, a sculptor from Modena, who was highly esteemed by Enzo Ferrari.
Originally, the monument stood on the Largo Garibaldi, in front of the house where Ferrari lived for much of his life, and was solemnly inaugurated on 18 February 1998, the date of his birth. In 2005 the work was moved to the present location at the Ferrari park. A copy of the monument was inaugurated in 1998 alongside the Town Hall of Maranello.
