Representing Ferrari in Rome since 1957, Sa.Mo.Car debuts Maranello’s new corporate identity
The reimagined space was officially inaugurated on 20th May, with Ferrari Chief Marketing & Commercial Officer Enrico Galliera joining Giovanni Malagò at the opening ceremony.
The concept revolves around three key pillars: the uniqueness of the experience, the sense of belonging and the interaction between physical and digital elements. Above all, the new layout creates a community space in which the client is the focal point.
Sa.Mo.Car’s guests are first welcomed through an entrance arch reminiscent of the traditional porticos of Italian architecture, before stepping into a timeless, modern space to discover another influence of Italian culture – the ‘Piazza’. This is the showroom’s central meeting area, a place inspired by the lively squares of Italian towns and cities, where clients can relax, enjoy a coffee and explore the brand.
The Piazza is the heart of the new Sa.Mo.Car experience, a relaxing space that welcomes visitors into the world of Ferrari
Other spaces include reserved lounges, a dedicated configuration room and an external car display area where members of the Ferraristi community can connect.
As before, clients can touch, feel and see Ferrari products first-hand to help perfect their vehicle specification, from paint samples to special leathers, but the experience is now rendered more interactive still thanks to new digital tools – custom configurators among them.
As Sa.Mo.Car Roma approaches its 70th year representing the Prancing Horse, it is reinvigorated and ready for an exciting new chapter – and provides a glimpse of future Ferrari spaces the world over.
