Enjoy a Decal and Discounts on Three Vehicles for Italian Air Force Day!
Italy was a pioneer in aviation. Airships served its army from the mid-1880s, and on March 28th 1923, the Air Force became a separate branch of the armed forces. Renowned director Hayao Miyazaki celebrated Italian aviation in his animated films Porco Rosso and The Wind Rises, and the image of a black horse standing on its heel, depicted on the plane of Italian World War I ace Francesco Baracca, inspired the Ferrari logo.
