Biography|Amedeo Felisa — The Maranello Works He Joined as Technical Director

Ferrari in 1990 was not the factory a tourist photographs today.

Felisa left Alfa Romeo that year and entered the Maranello works as director of product development.

Motor Trend later dated his first project as the conversion of the Testarossa into the 512 TR.

The F355, the 550 Maranello and the Enzo were developed on his watch as the technical lead, before any CEO title.

The legal address has not moved: Via Abetone Inferiore 4.

The red-and-glass office block in current photographs is a later skin on that same gate.

The original 1947 sheds have been rebuilt in stages.

A visitor should not expect the 1990 façade.

What has not moved is the place.

He spent the next twenty-six years inside this perimeter, first as the GT engineer, then as general manager, then as chief executive.

The 1990 hire is the bend in the life.

Everything after it is Maranello letterhead until 2016.
