Cavallino Rampante is the prancing horse. The symbol was adopted by Enzo Ferrari for his racing team after being encouraged to do so by the mother of Count Francesco Baracca, Italy’s top fighter ace in WWI. The coat of arms of Baracca family included a black prancing stallion, which Francesco wore as his emblem on the two sides of his aircraft.Â
Cavallino, Inc. was founded in 1978 and quickly became the publisher of the most important, reputable and interesting magazine about Ferrari history.
In 1992 Cavallino started The Classic, the Concorso d'Eleganza entirely dedicated to the prancing horse. We can certainly say that over five decades Cavallino has grown and protected Enzo Ferrari’s legacy by preserving its authenticity and originality.
In 2020, Canossa, the Italian company leader in automotive events, acquired Cavallino with the aim of bringing it into the future while preserving its fundamental assets and its tradition of excellence. John Barnes is still part of the team and has been appointed President Emeritus of Cavallino.
