FORNARI PASSIONE ROSSA
Ferrari history, one model at a time.
WHY FORNARI PASSIONE ROSSA?
This 1:18 Ferrari collection is my tribute to Il Commendatore—his vision, determination and ingenuity—and to the courageous drivers who transformed the Cavallino Rampante into a legend.
I have spent years studying Enzo Ferrari’s life, the history of the Scuderia and the people whose skill and courage made Ferrari one of the world’s most evocative marques. Through race-correct models representing different eras, drivers and competitions, Fornari Passione Rossa preserves and shares the stories behind the cars—one model, one driver and one race at a time.

The Story
A lifelong passion, preserved in miniature.
Eight moments that transformed a passion into a documented record of Ferrari racing history.
Where It Started
My passion for motor racing began long before I ever thought of building a collection. Growing up in Argentina, Juan Manuel Fangio was part of the mythology of the sport, and Formula 1 quickly became something much more than a…
The Collection Begins
I began collecting Ferrari models in 1995. At first, the approach was simple: I bought Ferrari models that I liked. The cars were beautiful objects in their own right, but the collection did not yet have a defined historical structure.
A Different Way of Collecting
Living in Italy changed the way I understood the hobby. I discovered specialized model builders and craftsmen capable of recreating cars, liveries and race configurations that the major manufacturers had never produced. Suddenly, I…
Not Just a Model. The Car.
The real turning point came with a Ferrari 312 T2 representing Carlos Reutemann at Monza in 1976. I realized that what interested me was no longer simply owning a Ferrari 312 T2.
A Collection With a Purpose
From that point on, the collection began to grow with a very different purpose. Formula 1 and Formula 2 became its backbone, but the scope gradually expanded to include Ferrari sports cars, Le Mans, Mille Miglia and, eventually,…
A Major Milestone
By 2021, I had reached one of the goals that once seemed almost impossible: representing every Ferrari Formula 1 and Formula 2 car that had officially raced for Scuderia Ferrari from 1948 through 2021.
Ferrari Recognition
That milestone eventually reached Ferrari through my friend Marcos Neukirchner . Ferrari decided to tell the story of the collection in The Official Ferrari Magazine . The interview was conducted online, and a professional…
Fornari Passione Rossa
Fornari Passione Rossa continues to evolve. Today, the objective is not simply to display a collection of miniature Ferraris. It is to use those models to document Ferrari racing history — one car, one driver, one race and one…
Beyond the Collection
The places and experiences behind the passion.
Sharing the races, museums and exhibitions I have attended through the years—experiences that deepened my passion and are reflected throughout this collection.
More than a collection.
A lifelong passion preserved in miniature.
