On 15 July the historic ‘Made in Italy’ brands were celebrated on the terrace of the historic Grand Hansa Hotel in Helsinki.
At the invitation of Ambassador Nicola Todaro Marescotti, and in collaboration with Casa Gusto and Winital – exclusive distributors in the Finnish market of some of Italy’s best-known food and wine products – numerous representatives of Finnish society and members of the country’s cultural scene experienced ‘Made in Italy’ first-hand as they welcomed the 18 crews of ‘Ferraristi’ who have travelled from Italy to Helsinki to embark on the Ferrari Club – Passione Rossa’s ‘Summer Arctic Tour 2026.’
The 18 stunning Ferraris, some of which parked on the Grand Hansa esplanade, will travel beyond the Arctic Circle all the way to Rovaniemi, after crossing the ‘Land of a Thousand Lakes.’ Also present at the event, in a spirit of camaraderie among Ferrari enthusiasts, was a delegation from the Ferrari Club Finland.
For the evening – which blends tradition, creativity, and innovation – the Grand Hansa’s Italian sous-chef, Lidia Belardinelli, created delicious dishes featuring products from the historic brands Divella, Loison, Parmareggio, Giovanni Rana, Matilde Vicenzi, and Villani, paired with Lambrusco from Tenute Agricole Cleto Chiarli and Bialetti coffee.
