A replica of Francesco Baracca’s Spad XIII. Does the prancing horse drawing on its fuselage look familiar to you? It was Baracca’s personal symbol, and after his death the Baracca family donated the symbol to a young Enzo Ferrari, telling him “Put this symbol on your racing cars. It will bring you luck”. The only change was the tail, moved to upright position.
