In stead of bringing a hand full of sand from Maranello.

• 

We always like to browse the automobilia section of auctions, as in general there is a lot of adventure. You never know what you will  stumble over. This time it was a box of yellow tiles with prancing horse. Made in Maranello and meant for decorating Ferrari showrooms. We once visited Maranello and still can feel the hunger to bring a tangible souvenir of this holy place.  I fancied taking some loose dirt from the foot of the front fence but in the end kept making photos and forgot about the sand and still regret it. Now here you have a fine Ferrari souvenir. Made in Maranello, made for Maranello. The tile factory Ceramichi Piemme is still based in Maranello which only adds to the charme of this carton of Ferrari decorated tiles. They will not go cheap, but still far cheaper than about any part of a classic Ferrari. Available through Arte & Auto Auction until June 22 (click)
