In which Italian town is Ferrari's main factory located?

The story behind the answer

Ferrari’s main factory is located in Maranello, Italy.

Maranello is a town in the Emilia-Romagna region and the province of Modena. Ferrari has been based there since the early 1940s, making the town inseparable from the company’s identity. The factory complex includes production facilities, engineering operations and parts of Ferrari’s motorsport infrastructure.

Enzo Ferrari moved his headquarters from Modena to Maranello during World War II. The site initially operated alongside Auto Avio Costruzioni, the machine-tool business Ferrari used before he could build cars under his own name. Ferrari’s first road car, the 125 S, appeared in 1947, beginning the modern marque’s road-car history.

Maranello is sometimes confused with Modena because it lies in Modena province and the two places are only about 18 kilometers apart. Bologna is the regional capital, while Turin is strongly associated with Fiat and Italian automotive design. Maranello, however, is the town most directly associated with Ferrari’s factory, headquarters and Museo Ferrari.
