Ferrari caravan stops in Slovenia

The 60th anniversary of legendary Italian carmaker Ferrari prompted the sports car manufacturer to put together a caravan of its vehicles to transverse the globe.


A part of the caravan, twelve Ferraris in all, stopped in Ljubljana on Saturday, 19 May, to a welcome by Italian Ambassador to Slovenia Daniele Verga and Mayor Zoran Jankovic.

Slovenia contributed a doorknob, designed by the country's most celebrated architect Joze Plecnik for the National and University Library building.

The horse-shaped knob was chosen because Ferrari's symbol is a black prancing stallion on a yellow shield. The caravan had already visited most of the world and its tour is expected to end on 25 June in Maranello, the headquarters of Ferrari.
