Preview (beginning of the article)

Alfredo Ferrari, known as Dino to his friends, was to take over his father's business one day. He soon showed great interest and talent. He studied at the Technical University of Modena and in Switzerland. Even as a student, he developed plans for a small V6 racing engine. When Enzo Ferrari switched off the ignition of his Alfa Romeo 6C1750 supercharged car in 1932, two facts were certain: he had won the Bobbio-Pellice race and - it had been his last race. His son Alfredo had been born in January of the same year, and Enzo Ferrari had promised his wife that he would pursue a less dangerous hobby from then on. He wanted to devote himself to his son and give him what he himself had had to do without after his parents died in the First World War. After Alfredo had completed his studies, he continued to work on his engine. Even in the hospital, which he had to visit in 1956 due to leukemia, he solved theoretical problems with his colleagues. Dino never heard his engine running, as he died at the end of 1956, not even 25 years old.
