Thanks go to Frank Strazzabosco, Ryan Sabga, Cyrus Rajabi, and Bert Smith for organizing this Italian winning venue.

Parma Trattoria is a true authentic Italian restaurant shared and created by the minds behind top restaurants like Firenze A Tavola, Antica Roma, Parisi, Acqua Pazza, Bacco Trattoria, and Amante Coffee.

Hybrid LaFerrari!217 mph !

The newest Ferrari supercar is called simply the LaFerrari, an unusual name perhaps, but not one that would deter well-heeled customers from

purchasing one of the 499 units offered. (All are rumored to have been spoken for already, despite an expected price tag of $1 million.)

Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show, the LaFerrari is not only Ferrari's first-ever hybrid, but also its fastest-ever road car.

Ferrari ! The Most Powerful Brand

Worldwide

The Global 500 survey, which analyses the financial and brand performance of major companies, has found that Ferrari is the world’s most powerful brand.Ferrari out performs much larger manufacturers such as BMW, Volkswagen Mercedes, and Audi – as well as all the other brands.One of the key considerations for brand value is revenue but the company’s margins, revenue per customer, advertising and marketing spend are also considered.While Ferrari can’t compete with the bigger multi-nationals in terms of size, it excels in important areas such as brand affection and loyalty. No other manufacturers made it in to the top five results, with Google, Coca-Cola, PwC and Hermes occupying second to fifth place respectively.
