The Maranello factory hasn’t been completely dormant since March, however, as the department normally responsible for building Ferrari prototypes was put to work developing respirator valves and fittings for protective masks used by health workers. The company has also purchased COVID-19 test kits for the University of Modena, Baggiovara and Sassuolo hospitals, donated a vehicle to the local health authority, purchased notebooks, tablets and computers so that local children can be home schooled, and purchased food and food vouchers for distribution in the Maranello area. The money to do all of that came as a result of Ferrari’s Chairman John Elkann, CEO Louis Camilleri and the Board of Directors pledging to donate their salaries from April until the end of the year, as well as other senior management offering 25 per cent of their wages.
