What Happened
The historic Maserati plant on Viale Ciro Menotti in Modena hosted the cancellation ceremony of a stamp dedicated to the centenary of the Trident logo and the brand's first competitive victory at the 1926 Targa Florio. The event gathered Maserati employees, local institutions, and industry figures, including Santo Ficili, Maserati COO and Alfa Romeo CEO.
The stamp, part of the 'Excellence of the production and economic system' series, was designed by Maserati Centro Stile and issued by the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy. It features the modern Trident over a pattern of early 1926 Tridents on a blue background, along with the Italian flag and 'CENTENARIO' inscription.
“Today, we welcome this special stamp to our home in Modena, to celebrate not only the Trident's centenary but also the beginning of an extraordinary all-Italian story.”
Why this matters
The celebration reinforces Maserati's brand heritage as the longest-standing Italian luxury automaker in the Motor Valley, tying its past racing success to its current lineup.
