The project, curated by Domenico De Gaetano, is promoted by the City of Lissone for the 90th Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix and is organized by Volumina, Clarart and Solares.
The exhibition traces in 200 images – rare photographs taken from the Ferrari archive, sections of engines, original photos, engine designs and models, portraits, dialogues, versions and creations of the icon of planetary fame, the Prancing Horse, symbols and other suggestions that refer to the Monza Grand Prix of 1961 and to the duel between the two Ferrari drivers vying for the title of Formula 1 world champion: the American Phil Hill and his teammate Wolfgang von Trips.

The Mayor of Lissone Concettina Monguzzi underlines from the press release: “The proposal for this exhibition is part of the will of our Administration to offer the citizens of Lissone, the large number of people arriving in the area on the occasion of the Grand Prix and all those who will be able to come and visit it, a high-level, international cultural initiative linked to Formula 1. The Brianza area, known to the world for the presence of the racetrack, deserved such an important proposal. ”
Is the curator Domenico De Gaetano that ideally introduces us to the exhibition: “Cronenberg has always loved engines. He follows the Formula 1 Grand Prix like an avid fan and has never had any doubts about who cheer on: Ferrari, the racing car for excellence. The Red Cars project was born from that passion: a script for a film that was never made, a story that really happened in the golden age of motoring, told with his ironic and cutting style, which takes shape in a book of artist and in a multimedia installation that will fascinate both Formula 1 enthusiasts and cinema fans. ”
Pietro Benvenuti, General Manager of Monza Eni Circuit explains: “We are happy to include David Cronenberg’s Red Cars exhibition among the initiatives that will enrich the week of the 2019 Heineken Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix.
