The famous symbol of Ferrari is a black prancing horse on yellow background, usually with the letters S F for Scuderia Ferrari.
The horse was originally the symbol of Count Francesco Baracca, a legendary 'asso' (ace) of the Italian air force during World War I, who painted it on the side of his planes.
Baracca died very young on June 19, 1918, shot down after 34 victorious duels and many team victories.
Interestingly, German sports car manufacturer Porsche borrowed its prancing horse logo from the city's emblem.
