The famous little horse was pictured for the first time on the plane of Baron Francesco Baracca, an Italian flying ace in the First World War. Numerous victories during air combat quickly made the aristocratic pilot a national hero. The Cavallino Rampante was then painted on all of the aeroplanes in the squadron a squadron of which Enzo Ferrari was also a member.
When Enzo won the Ravenna motor race in 1923, Baraccas mother encouraged him to use the Cavallino Rampante as a logo. The man who would ultimately establish the Ferrari company, Enzo graciously accepted the offer, and further developed the symbol. In the top section he added the Italian national colours of green, white and red and completed the emblem at the bottom with the letters SF (Scuderia Ferrari).
