With the morning's excitement over, it was time for some light refreshments. For this, they visited the a bar close to the factory, well known for its motor racing theme; the walls covered with photos of well known drivers and their racing cars. There they were joined by Maserati president Sig. Eugenio Alzati.

Fully refreshed, it was time for the party to visit the countryside outside Modena. A few miles from Modena there is a special farm, owned by a very wealthy Italian gentleman, that houses an important collection of over 100 classic Italian cars. An amazing place with a purpose built 'museum' housing the more important cars surrounded by farm buildings containing classics virtually side by side and bumper to bumper. The star of his collection is the first ever Ferrari. It appears that Ferrari themselves have tried to tempt this historically important car away from the owner with vast amounts of lira, but so far he has refused to part with it.

In the evening, after the day's excitement, it was time to relax and sample the best of the local Italian cuisine. At Ruberia, just outside Modena there is no finer place to eat than the well-known restaurant Arnaldo Clinica Gastronomica.

The ristorante Arnaldo Clinica Gastronomica is famed not only for its fabulous Cucina Emiliana but also for its ambience that includes many photos of motor racing history.

Now that I know, I am looking forward to eating there myself!

The following morning, after a good night's sleep at the Hotel, they visited the boatyard of luxury boatbuilder Ferretti at S. Giovanni in Marignano. There followed a tour of the boatyard in which they were treated to a demonstration in one of their luxury motor cruisers on the Adriatic Sea.
