Today, we all got on a bus first thing in the morning and headed to Bologna, which is just an hour and a half north of Florence. Our first destination was the Ducati factory. Ducati is an Italian motorcycle manufacturing company headquartered in Bologna. We got to go on a tour through the factory, which was an awesome experience. It was really cool getting an inside look on how such a complex process is carried out efficiently. Next, we all got back on the bus and headed to lunch at the Bull Bar, which was just across from the Lamborghini factory and museum. At the bar, they had two Lamborghinis that you could pay to drive for 10 minutes and Tom and Tommy both did it. They both had a blast driving them and we all had fun watching, living vicariously through them!

After Tom and Tommy finished living out their 10 minutes of luxury living, the group headed over to the Pagani manufacturing building and museum in San Cesario sul Panaro to learn about the upbringing of the company and see how they manufacture their luxury selection of super cars. Pagani was founded in 1992 by Argentinean-Italian Horacio Pagani manufacturing its well-known “hypercars” and carbon fiber components. It was amazing to witness both manufacturers in action and the pride they take in putting together their products by hand. Post tour, the group had a nice cruise back to Hotel Grifone, Firenze to wind down and reflect on the awesomeness that took place today.
