Started the first Body Restoration Course in Modena

Beginning last evening, Thursday 7 February 2019, at the CNA-Ecipar in Modena, the first Body Restoration Course, wanted directly by Ecipar, the CNA training body, in collaboration with the Engineering Department ” Enzo Ferrari “of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia who, through Ing. Francesco Gherardini, lends itself to organizing and coordinating this first module of specialized training.

Strongly desired by some companies specialized in the restoration of prestigious vintage cars in the area, including the “BACCHELLI & VILLA” of Bastiglia (MO), the CREMONINI CARROZZERIA of Lesignana (MO) and the Carrozzeria Frignani of Casalgrande (RE) , the course is addressed both to interested university students (Vehicle Engineering), both to technical graduates (experts), as well as to employees of specialized companies in the area. It is no coincidence that, among others, the course has already received support from both Maserati (through the “Maserati Classiche”) and the IPSIA “A. FERRARI “from Maranello.

But above all, the course aims at the specific technical preparation, not only theoretical, but also manual, directly in the body workshops, of technicians prepared in the evaluation and organization of qualified restorations, in full respect of originality, of classic cars of great value, such as Ferrari , Lamborghini, Maserati and Alfa Romeo, only to remain in the tradition of the area and above all be able to take advantage of the same official support of the parent companies, through their internal organs, such as FERRARI CLASSICHE, MASERATI CLASSICHE and POLO STORICO LAMBORGHINI, which will easily offer the official documents and data, as well as the super qualified experience of technicians and craftsmen of the area, unique in the world for their preparation!

At this first meeting, presentation of the theoretical part, certainly not accidentally intervened technicians of experience and recognized ability, such as Ing. Antonio Cesaretti, ex Lamborghini, Ferrari and Maserati, who exposed to the students – about thirty different backgrounds (from Engineering students up to some technicians of the same Maserati) – the complicated and certainly not easy process of gestation of a new car, as well as the problems related to its subsequent restoration, as it is always linked to the initial design specifications. To conclude this first meeting, Oscar Scaglietti, son of the legendary Sergio Scaglietti, founder of one of the most famous historic bodywork in Modena, for giving shape (and substance) to the bodywork of all the Ferrari of the golden age (from 1947 to half of the ’70s), to then be absorbed by Ferrari itself and still operate today, for the construction of the bodywork of the most prestigious series of the Maranello House!
