His mother was Enzo's mistress, Lina Lardi.[citation needed] As divorce was illegal in Italy until 1975, he could not be acknowledged as a Ferrari family member until the death of Enzo's wife, Laura, in 1978.[citation needed] His legitimate half-brother, Dino, died in 1956 of muscular dystrophy.

In 1998 he was nominated president of Piaggio Aero Engineering.
Ferrari was awarded the title of Cavaliere del Lavoro in 2004.[2] He also possesses a degree in engineering from the Modena University. He is married to Floriana Nalin and has a daughter and two grandchildren. He lives in Modena in his father's old residence.
