Brands of an Epoch - Maserati »
Car engineer and racing car driver Alfieri Maserati, fourth son of a train driver, was born in Voghera, Italy in 1887. All of his brothers, Carlo, Bindo, Ettore und Ernesto were employed in the car industry and have greatly contributed to the success of the racing car manufacturer, Società Anonima Officine Alfieri Maserati, founded in Bologna in 1914. In 1926, painter and artist Mario Maserati, the only brother who was not technically involved, created the brand lable for the single-handedly developed model Tipo 26. Inspired by Neptune´s well on the Piazza Maggiore in the centre of Bologna he created the emblem with the Tridente which should survive the company´s move to Modena and which can with some alterations still be found on cars from this brand.
