La Dolce Vita

What Do You Get When You Cross One Of Italy’s Most Beautiful Cars With One Of Its Most Picturesque Regions? One Of Life’s Most Unforgettable Experiences.

- Susan Armstrong

Life, they say, is like a box of… only kidding, it is but, a series of surprises. Some are good, some perhaps not-so-great, and some are truly exceptional. Like when you find yourself travelling through a tunnel high in the hills of Bielmonte, and the almost symphonic roar of the car you’re driving fills your ears and you’re surprised by just how thrilling it is. Like being on a super-luxe roller-coaster (with 600Nm of torque and 100 per cent pure silk-trimmed seats, no less) that you’re in complete control of. Who knew such an experience would make you want to involuntarily squeal with delight?

But then, this is Italy, and the car is a Maserati, so perhaps it’s not that surprising. We’re in a country that is driven by craft, with slow food and fast cars at its very heart, and we’re behind the wheel of a brand that is synonymous with heritage, craftsmanship, exclusivity and style.

The CEO Magazine is part of an incredibly lucky, not to mention supremely stylish, Maserati convoy driving from the city of Modena to the municipality of Trivero to discover all that is great about Italy. Because, let’s face it, nobody indulges the five senses quite like the Italians. We’ll taste the sweetest balsamic vinegar in the world, feel the softest leather beneath our fingertips, hear the finest sounding car on the road, smell the headiest scent of garlic in the air, and watch as the prettiest of late afternoon suns sets over a bustling piazza.
