After an happy infancy, Enzo decides to leave his studies and work as a sport journalsit for the already famous Gazette of the Sport.
Unfortunately, the happy life of family Ferrari changes radically when in 1913 start the war, in fact only two years later Enzo's father died by pneumonia and his brother Alfredo left as voluntary to transport the wounded soldiers.
Some years later the situation of the Ferrari was worsened much, so with an application for a job he went to Torino, but the Fiat, didn't want any new employees at that time.
Anyway Enzo decides to stay in Torino and in 1919, with the recovery of the car industries, he wa employed at Giovannoni's shop.

The Progress of the FERRARI
The years passed, but for Ferrari the ability to produce cars was always the same ; in the first image we have the first chain of assemblage, in the second one the chain of modern assemblage.
Even if the Ferrari is ultramodern, its line of assemblage doesn't do any concession to technology, in fact every two days and half and with the support of one hundred persons for car only three Ferraris are produced from every line of the assemblage (there are only two lines of assemblage). This because in fFrrari there is the rule that manual work is the real secret to build a magic car.
