My parents are retired and go to Italy at least twice a year and and we have family there. They were born in Sicily but my dad has a sister in Rome. When they first started visiting they went to Sicily to see family but after a couple of trips decided they wanted to explore all of Italy.
Their advice after a couple of trips......rent a home and by a car.

No.... it was pouring rain -- My son went to Pagani and Lambo and I have tons of pics of them.

It's a two hour drive from Firenze so round trip is 4 hours and we wanted to get back to Firenze early enough to relax before we had a big azz dinner reservation. So -- maybe next trip.

Well -- I hated to be the one to pour cold water on anyones dream trip... but I was SORELY disappointed in what THEY bill as a "factory tour".... yeah... it's a factory tour so no issues with the "truth in advertising" -- it's just OUR idea of a f'n factory tour would be the INSIDE... not the exterior!

Azzholes!

What a wasted day.

Don't forget there is still the Lambo and Pagani factories there.... and if a guy wanted to he can hit all three in a day... so if you're in that region - I'd still go. But we'd made the trip up from Firenze. I wanted Gwen to drive the California and I was going to drive the 458... and was under the impression that the FACTORY did this -- but noooooooooooo.... this is all done 3rd party and they're in the parking lot like vultures! You step out of your car and there are 3 guys and 2 chicks hitting you for a "Ferrari drive" (they have postcards like the porn people do in Las Vegas).... and they appear to be factory people all dressed in red Ferrari stuff from head to toe... the chicks where HOT! But these are all competitors hustling you like the beach sellers do in Mexico. Dude! I HATE that kind of stuff!

Sadly I saw this to late, you more or less "drove by" my door while going there to Ferrari/Lambo from Florence.
I would have invited you for a beer....
