Maranello, May 26, 2026 – This morning, a Ferrari delegation, led by Chairman John Elkann and Chief Executive Officer Benedetto Vigna, together with other company executives and engineers, was received by His Holiness Pope Leo XIV at the papal residence in Castel Gandolfo.
Chairman Elkann commented: “It was a great emotion and an immense honour to meet His Holiness together with my Ferrari colleagues. This was a moment of extraordinary human and symbolic value, inspiring all the people in our Company to continue their journey with passion, responsibility, and confidence in the future. An occasion that will remain forever in our memories, and in Ferrari’s history.”
