Ferrari and the mounted carabinieri regiment at the heart of the Diamond Jubilee


Ferrari, an icon of Made in Italy excellence
across the globe, will be at the very heart of the Diamond Jubilee
Pageant to celebrate 60 years of Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II’s
reign, an event of huge importance to the United Kingdom. The marque’s
clients and collectors will be parading some of the most beautiful
historic and contemporary Ferraris ever built through the grounds of
Windsor Castle, with the cars on display for the duration of the event.

Ferrari, however, wanted to involve another icon of Italian excellence
and, thanks to its financial contribution made to the organisation,
will be accompanied to this very special celebration by the 4th Mounted
Carabinieri Regiment performing the famous Historic Carosello, a
demonstration of superb horsemanship and synthesis of the level of
training reached by the Carabinieri.

The Carosello will stage a stunning display of horsemanship during
which they will perform the intricate yet fluid quadrilles, equestrian
rides choreographed to music, to showcase the skill and agility of both
horses and riders. The programme culminates in the Regiment’s
now-legendary and extremely thrilling final charge.

The Diamond Jubilee Pageant takes place from May 10th to 13th. It is a
source of great pride to Ferrari to be making such a significant
contribution to the celebration and also that two such internationally
renowned representatives of Italian excellence have the opportunity to
pay tribute to one of the most important Monarchs of our time.

Ferrari will be represented by Chairman Luca di Montezemolo on the
final evening of the event which will be attended by Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II. Ferrari and the Carabinieri share deep-rooted values, such
as respect for tradition and history, but also a sense of
determination, innovation and passion. Together these two
representatives of Italian excellence are the perfect partnership to
represent our nation at its finest.

At first glance, Kate Cook’s artwork might seem like a paradox—a seamless blend of classic oil painting techniques with the high-octane world of automotive enamels. Her signature approach, which she calls "Artemotiv," merges the meticulous craftsmanship of fine art with the raw energy of hot rods and muscle cars. But spend a few minutes with Cook, and the paradox resolves itself into something more profound: an artist who has not only found her lane but paved it herself.
