Available for auction is this Ferrari Cavallino Rampante crafted from solid aluminum. This type of Cavallino is the first "model" replicated from the extremely rare Bronze Cavallino made in the '60s that was inside the first Ferrari Factory and outside the famous restaurant "il Cavallino" on front of the Ferrari Building entrance. This piece said to remain in great overall condition measuring 36 inches top to bottom with a total weight of 15 lbs.
As an internationally recognizable symbol, this iconic prancing horse (Cavallino Rampante) is said to have been first seen as a symbol on the Italian fighter plane flown by Francesco Baracca during World War One. Historians note that Baracca was killed in 1918 when his Spad VII was shot down by a rival Austrian aircraft. Soon after, Enzo Ferrari supposedly met the parents of Baracca at a local racing event in which they suggested to put the Cavallino Rampante symbol on his racecars for good luck. The story goes on that Enzo Ferrari eventually created his own version of this logo in which is seen on the cars produced then and in present-day.
