MARANELLO, Italy -- The Auditorium Enzo Ferrari stands proudly on one side of Maranello's central piazza. It's not the prettiest building in Northern Italy -- far from it -- but its yellow stucco is immaculately maintained and free of the graffiti that plagues the surrounding streets. It is also a point of pilgrimage each year for Ferrari's most dedicated fans -- the tifosi -- who, midway through Italy's coldest month, huddle outside the large wooden doors waiting to be let in. Two members of the local Carabinieri do their best to stop the crowd spilling into the street, but soon accept the inevitable and switch their attention to diverting traffic around the growing mushroom of red jackets.
