Maserati (Italian pronunciation: [mazeˈraːti]) is an Italian luxury car manufacturer established on December 1, 1914, in Bologna.[2] The company's headquarters are now in Modena, and its emblem is a trident. It has been owned by the Italian car giant Fiat S.p.A. since 1993. Inside the Fiat Group, Maserati was initially associated with Ferrari S.p.A., but more recently it has become part of the sports car group including Alfa Romeo. The Maserati brothers, Alfieri, Bindo, Carlo, Ettore, and Ernesto
were all involved with automobiles from the beginning of the 20th
century. Alfieri, Bindo and Ernesto built 2-litre Grand Prix cars for Diatto.
In 1926, Diatto suspended the production of race cars, leading to the
creation of the first Maserati and the founding of the Maserati marque.
One of the first Maseratis, driven by Alfieri, won the 1926 Targa Florio.
Maserati began making race cars with 4, 6, 8 and 16 cylinders (two
straight-eights mounted parallel to one another). Another Maserati
brother, Mario, an artist, is believed to have devised the company's trident emblem, based on the Fontana del Nettuno, Bologna. Alfieri Maserati died in 1932, but three other brothers, Bindo,
Ernesto and Ettore, kept the firm going, building cars that won races.
