Lamborghini

The story of the automaker begins with Ferruccio Lamborghini, the child of grape farmers from the comune of Renazzo di Cento, Province of Ferrara, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy. Lamborghini was drawn to farming machinery rather than the farming lifestyle itself, and studied at the Fratelli Taddia technical institute near Bologna. In 1940, he was drafted into the Italian Air Force,[ where he served as a mechanic at the Italian garrison on the island of Rhodes, becoming the supervisor of the vehicle maintenance unit. After returning from the war, Lamborghini opened a garage in Pieve di Cento. Thanks to his mechanical abilities, he was able to enter the business of building tractors from spare parts and leftover military vehicles. Agricultural equipment was desperately needed during Italy's postwar economic reform.. In 1948, Lamborghini founded Lamborghini Trattori S.p.A. and by the mid-1950s, his factory was producing 1000 tractors per year, becoming one of the largest agricultural equipment manufacturers in the country After travelling to the United States, Lamborghini acquired the technology to open a gas heater factory, Lamborghini Bruciatori S.p.A.,
