Ercole Colombo

Ercole Colombo grew up in Italy, where Ferrari carries a nation’s expectations every time it races and he has been a familiar figure in the Grand Prix paddock since the late 1970s and in this time has shot the most extensive collection of images recording the highs and lows of the Scuderia.

His work with the Ferrari team over the past 40 years has documented many unique images of the team at work as well as an intimate record of Enzo Ferrari, with whom Colombo enjoyed a cordial personal relationship that lent him unparalleled behind-the- scenes access. Colombo’s photographic reportage also spans the team’s halcyon period from the mid-1990s and into the 2000s during Michael Schumacher’s period of unmatched supremacy through to the current day.
