Dallara Academy Press Tour

The sun illuminates a new building at the gates of Varano de'Melegari, between the slopes of the Apennines of Parma and the irregular bed of Ceno, which collects a story of speed, passion and security, and creates unexpected reflections and nuances.

The arrival of autumn represents the beginning of a new adventure for Dallara, whose seal is the inauguration of the Dallara Academy, which embodies the project of the founder and president of the company, Giampaolo Dallara: that of being able to share and transmit a story and a life developed around the passion for racing cars "In my intentions the aim of this Academy is to thank, through the exposure of our most significant cars, all the collaborators who have contributed to the company's reputation and growth . There is also a willingness to work with the Universities of MUNER for the training of tomorrow's engineers. But above all there is the desire to make available to the territory a meeting place and a meeting place, a center of stimuli and interests alive and open for our valley. "

The architect Alfonso Femia, Atelier (s) Alfonso Femia, who has been entrusted with the task of designing the building giving shape and matter to the thought of the Engineer Dallara, explains: "A complex that pays attention to the topography of the place, to its insertion in the landscape, to its double perception (from the outside and from the inside), and that has the will to be a place of research, of project, of meeting, of excellence ... a building fast and slow, silent and sound, technological and poetic ".

The Dallara Academy is a building that houses in itself different souls, who come to life in the different functions of the building: the link with the surrounding area, the importance of training, the transmission of passion "The idea that lives in the project is that to create a building able to reconcile the individual identity of the parts that contribute to create the whole, with a sense of unity of the whole, a landscape in the landscape "underlines Femia.
