Description

This is the original artwork
by the internationally acclaimed, Automotive Artist – Illustrator,
Argentinian-born
,
Hector Luis Bergandi of Ferrari Pilot Bruno Sterzi driving his
Ferrari 166 S to a second-place finish in the 1948 Circuito del Garda, Italy.
Enzo Ferrari called Sterzi
the “Gentlemen-racer”.  Sterzi was a true sportsman who loved
adventure and cherished every moment that he raced in a Ferrari.
Bruno Sterzi was one the
leading official Ferrari factory drivers in 1948 along with Biondetti, Bira, Cortese,
Farina, Gonzalez, Landi, Nuvolari, Righetti and Sommer.
The Bruno Sterzi artwork was
published in Rosso Ferrari Magazine Seven, 1992 Fall issue. The
artist illustrated the Ferrari Piloti starting with the 1947 stable.
Bergandi's interpretation of each Pilot is both compelling and expressive,
capturing the true racing memories of each driver and the Ferrari race car they
drove.

Provenance & Content Validation:
My agency, Hank Forssberg Inc.
Advertising handled the Advertising and Marketing for Ferrari North America
from 1977 through 1995. During that 18-year relationship with Ferrari North
America and Ferrari S.p.A., I accumulated an extensive collection of hundreds
of Ferrari collectibles/memorabilia from Ferrari North America and from the
Factory in Maranello.
I personally recommended to Ferrari North America
Management that they launch the introduction of the 348 Spider in Beverly
Hills, California by closing off Rodeo Drive and having the first ever Ferrari
Concours d’Elegance on Rodeo Drive as the highlight of the 348 Spider
Introduction.
My agency designed and produced all of the marketing
and advertising materials for the 348 Spider Introduction including the Poster,
Letterhead and Envelopes, Invitations, Event Program, Parking Passes,
Windshield ID’s, VIP Wrist Bands, 348 Spider Spec. Sheets, Etc.
During my 18-year relationship with Ferrari, I was
also the Editor of Rosso Ferrari Magazine.
During my tenure, I edited and published 9 Issues from 1990 through 1993
including Issue number Eight – Ferrari Rodeo Drive. As the Editor of Rosso
Ferrari Magazine, I commissioned Hector Luis Bergandi to create Ferrari Car Art
Illustrations to be featured in Rosso Ferrari Issues.
As a result of my relationship with Mr. Bergandi, I
also commissioned him to design a poster
for
the 348 Spider Rodeo Drive
Introduction.
