The Third Stage Solidifying.

The elaboration of the third stage in Italian trekking became a work of surgeon. Something cut, something sewn on. I know, it still can be not a final plan because, maybe, I can something add to the second stage. Nevertheless, I consider the things as done.

 

Sacra di San Michele has resemblance of Mont-Saint-Michel. I planned to begin a third stage there but I cancelled by finding a payment for admission in this Roman Catholic site. I’m very sad here because an architecture is exquisite and whole place makes to believe it’s from the other world. Anyway, I accepted a fact.

 

A story of Enzo Ferrari corroborates I couldn’t visit his museums in any circumstance. A man worked on fascists and made a grandiose wealth by manufacturing aircraft engines and machine tools. He relocated his production from Modena to Maranello by fearing that bombs of the Allies can hit his factory. He didn’t want to give up his business as can see.

A modern administration of Ferrari hasn’t ties with gruesome activities but it still keeps name of a war criminal. A substitute of appellation is always dangerous in commercial sense but here a company has an established top notch reputation for decades which will survive after taking other title in my believe.

 

NB. There are companies who did it for occult reasons under which I point on political correctness. Uncle Ben’s turned into not sounding Ben’s Original. These people who made any of these following aren’t good businessmen at basics because they reject a majority.

 

I wouldn’t even sit in any of these automobiles as I say to anything that works on evil. All companies collaborating with dictatorships could relocate in civilized points of the world but they stayed. I do similar ignoring to many German and Japanese carmakers for respective reasons. I would visit Audi’s museums in Zwickau and Ingolstadt because a founder wasn’t in Nazi activities but a company belongs to Volkswagen, which appeared by a guy named Ferdinand Porsche who created Hitler’s wishing “people’s car” (that a literal translation of Volkswagen from German). Everybody, just change titles and I will visit your exhibitions. Believe me, men and women who survived in concentration and death camps don’t have comfort if see these trademarks. Isuzu did it in 1949 by being Tokyo Automobile Industries before that. However, as can see, many Nazi (though BMW became wicked when manufactured the aircraft engines in the Great War) and Imperial Japanese companies were involved in a not-so-distant diesel emission scandal.

 

Gravely sad but I forced to do passing with museums of Lamborghini. I had a dream to acquire a toy Lamborghini Countach there. It’s creator didn’t become a big-scale criminal but he wouldn’t be different and maybe more worst than Ferrari if he had a business in time of World War II. Ferruccio Lamborghini was drafted into fascist army and was sent on Rhodes where worked as a mechanic by maintaining military vehicles. He didn’t escape, which isn’t hard thing to do because such places aren’t maximum secured and nobody will much care on ran away worker or soldier in time of armed conflict.  This person served to regime until an island was conquered by Germans in September 1943. Lamborghini only escaped from arrest. After that, he returned in Rhodes as a civilian and opened own enterprise with permission of Nazis, which was a small vehicle workshop. It was until the British Army came. A future elite carmaker was arrested for collaboration and he couldn’t move to Italy until the next year.

 

Eventually I didn’t see worthy in Museum Nicolis. These cars I saw or will see in many other museums in the world and same I indicate toward of collections of photo cameras and gramophones. I say here same as about having kids – I can live without it.

 

I discovered about Panini Motor Museum. I visited site for looking special information but didn’t put eyes on read a text. I did it in the next day. It was on reconstruction and changed name on The Maserati Umberto Panini Collection. Reopening was in June 7, in a day in which I read about it. Seen Maserati on photos was of leading reasons for visit from beginning (and that’s why I can not to visit Nicolis). A collection extended what can’t make unhappy me (I believe, museum added another extraordinary cars). There on website I officially recognized that admission is free.
