Maserati was founded in 1914 in a garage in the central Italian city of Bologna by three brothers — Alfieri, Ettore, and Ernesto. The trident that is the company’s emblem is a replica of the one found in the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna. From early on, the company, which is now known for exotic luxury cars, was tied to the world of auto racing.
According to reports, Maserati’s first Grand Prix racing car, called Type 26, is the vehicle that Alfieri was driving in the 1927 Messina Cup race when he had a near fatal crash. Alfieri died a few years later, on March 3, 1932, at the age of 44 from complications related to that accident. In 1937, the brothers, while remaining involved, sold a controlling stake in the company that is now owned by Fiat.
The second and final phase of filming of Maserati: The Brothers will start in June in Rome. The movie is slated for a worldwide première in early fall 2025, Iervolino said.
Pacino is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time. His career spans more than five decades, during which he has earned many accolades, including an Academy Award, two Tony Awards, and two Primetime Emmy Awards, achieving the triple crown of acting.
