In 1916, in Renazzo di Cento, a farming town… near Modena, Ferruccio Lamborghini was born. Since he was a child, he has been fascinated by agricultural machines, and his parents send him to Bologna to study technical training.
In 1940, Mussolini’s Italy invades Greece and the young man is enrolled in that army that seeks old imperial glories. By training him, he is made responsible for tractors and stationary engines, at an air base in Rhodes. Three years later he is taken prisoner by British forces and, with the war over, Mussolini’s dreams have turned Italy into a field of ruin.
Hard times, ideal for personalities of character. And Ferruccio has it. He is a fighter. He sets up a small workshop, where with the remains of military vehicles he builds elementary carts for agricultural work.
