Panini made a fortune in Venezuela in farming and then returned to join the family publishing business and is best known for the Italian equivalent of football cards. When the Maserati collection was going to be sold off arrangements were made to stop the auction and buy the whole collection. They are now housed in a purpose built building on his Parmesan Cheese producing farm.
Very interesting - I didn't know any of that.... thanks. I have been reading about the collection.
