lfredo Ferrari (Dino) was Enzo Ferrari’s first son, born January 19, 1932. At the time, Enzo was still racing for Alfa Romeo, but he had pledged to give up his high-risk endeavors if he had a son. He made good on that promise, and refocused his efforts on his newly formed Scuderia Ferrari.
Nonetheless, young Dino was carefully molded to be Enzo’s successor, studying economics in Bologna and mechanical engineering in Switzerland. Alfredo was credited with the 750 Monza racecar, as well as partial credit for the 1.5-liter V6 engine that would see competition in early Ferrari formula cars.
