Description:

A biopic about the family behind the high-performance automobiles that, along with Ferrari and Lamborghini, Italy is known for. Maserati was founded in 1914 in a garage in the central Italian city of Bologna by three brothers: Alfieri, Ettore and Ernesto. The trident that is the company’s emblem is a replica of the one found in the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna. From early on the company, which is now known for exotic luxury cars, was tied to the world of auto racing. Maserati’s first Grand Prix racing car, called “Type 26,” is the vehicle that Alfieri Maserati was driving in the 1927 Messina Cup race when he had a near fatal crash. Alfieri died a few years later from complications related to that accident on March 3, 1932, at the age of 44. In 1937 the brothers, while remaining involved, sold a controlling stake in the company that is now owned by Fiat. In 1939, Wilbur Shaw won the Indianapolis 500 at the wheel of the Maserati “Boyle Special.” He repeated the feat the following year, making Maserati the only European manufacturer to win the Indy 500 twice.

Maserati: The Brothers – The Speed, the Passion, and the Legacy

A highly anticipated film, Maserati: The Brothers, set to drop late November 2024, holds the promise of cinematic brilliance. Gathering a constellation of stars, including Anthony Hopkins, Michele Morrone, Andy Garcia, and Jessica Alba, the film is anticipated to be a high-octane thrill ride.

This biopic features the captivating story of the Maserati founders – the three brothers, Alfieri, Ettore, and Ernesto. Born in a garage in the heart of Italy, Maserati has over the years become a symbol of iconic luxury and extraordinary performance.

The Trident emblem, modeled after the Neptune’s Fountain in Bologna, is more than a logo; it’s a testament to their heritage. The narrative unfolds their passion for producing high-performance automobiles and their significant contribution to auto racing.

The film brings to life the tragic tale of Alfieri’s near fatal crash in the 1927 Messina Cup and the aftermath, culminating in his untimely demise in 1932. Even after selling a controlling stake in the company, they remained an integral part of the legacy that is now under Fiat’s management.

Highlighting historical achievements like the winning of Indianapolis 500 with Maserati “Boyle Special,” not once but twice, Maserati: The Brothers will offer an exhilarating window into the world of auto racing and the only European manufacturer to have won the Indy 500 twice.

Produced by Andrea Iervolino and directed by Bobby Moresco, Maserati: The Brothers is certain to rev the engines of cinema-goers around the world. Set and shot in the brothers’ native land – Modena and Bologna, the film promises to provide an authentic and thrilling journey through time.
