Who Owns Maserati?
Stellantis has owned Mesarati since 2021. Alfieri (1887-1932), Bindo (1883-1980), Carlo (1881-1910), Ettore (1894-1990), and Ernesto (1898-1975) Maserati were all active with vehicles from the beginning of the twentieth century. Diatto’s 2-liter Grand Prix vehicles were manufactured by Alfieri, Bindo, and Ernesto. Diatto halted the manufacturing of race vehicles in 1926, resulting in the development of the first Maserati and the establishment of the Maserati label. One of the original Maseratis, driven by Alfieri, won the Targa Florio in 1926. Maserati began producing race vehicles with 4, 6, 8, and 16 engines (two straight-eights mounted parallel to one another).
The Maserati automobile company’s trident emblem, designed by Mario Maserati, is based on the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna’s Piazza Maggiore. At the suggestion of family friend Marquis Diego de Sterlich, one of the Maserati brothers utilized this sign in the emblem in 1920. It was thought to be especially suited for the sports car manufacturer because Neptune signifies power and vitality; also, the statue is a distinctive icon of the firm’s original home city.
Alfieri Maserati died in 1932, but the business was continued by three other brothers, Bindo, Ernesto, and Ettore.
