Combining a passion for fast cars and Italian gastronomy

The Emilia-Romagna region is synonymous with speed and culinary artistry. In May, we set out to combine these two facets of Italy into one exceptional program.

Modena and its surroundings became the backdrop for encounters with legends of the automotive world. We passed through the gates of Lamborghini and Pagani, took a peek behind the scenes of the production of iconic supercars, and let ourselves be carried away by the atmosphere of places where dreams on four wheels are born. Of course, Ferrari was also there – both in the museums in Modena and Maranello and on the racetrack itself, where passive admirers became real drivers for a moment. Sitting in a Ferrari racing car and testing its power on the track was the highlight of the trip for the participants.

Italy is not only about engines, but also traditions on a plate. That is why we combined automotive experiences with visits to family producers of balsamic vinegar, prosciutto, and Parmigiano Reggiano. Each encounter was a journey into the depths of local culture – from discovering the secrets of the long aging process of balsamic vinegar, to finely sliced prosciutto, to cheeses made with patience and dedication passed down through generations.

Dinners at local restaurants and shared moments during tastings brought out what makes Italy so unique – a combination of a warm atmosphere, authentic flavors, and attention to detail. Free time in Modena allowed us to enjoy the city from a different perspective – with a cup of espresso in a small square or a stroll through the narrow streets.

Emilia-Romagna revealed itself to us in all its beauty—as a region where a passion for technology meets the art of gastronomy. We are left with memories of moments that transcend ordinary travel.
