Company MISSION

In the realm of history, a legend was born amidst the era of powerful engines and courageous acts. It was the Spad S.XIII, a fighter aircraft adorned with a significant symbol—a graceful prancing horse painted on its wings. This emblem held great meaning, honoring the heroic deeds of Italian Ace Francesco Baracca and his unwavering allegiance to the Piemonte Reale Cavalleria and the Royal Army. The prancing horse would also mark the defeat of the fifth aircraft Baracca vanquished in Tolmezzo, Northern Italy—a craft from Stuttgard.

In a gesture of honor and admiration, the Baracca family presented Enzo Ferrari with this iconic symbol following his triumph at the Ravenna circuit in 1923. Thus, a sacred bond formed between the prancing horse and Ferrari's Alfa Romeo racing cars. This union carried deep significance, leading to the prancing horse proudly taking its place in racing history on July 9th, 1932, during the Spa 24-hours race. Symbolizing speed, triumph, and the pursuit of excellence, the prancing horse became the enduring emblem of Ferrari's cars when the company transitioned into automobile manufacturing in 1952.

In keeping with this rich heritage, Colaoni-Vega proudly adopts the noble horse as its emblem, representing the timeless essence of the aeronautics and automotive industries. It embodies the courage of aviators and the relentless pursuit of victory on the racetrack. Each endeavor undertaken by Colaoni-Vega pays homage to this storied legacy while forging a path of engineering excellence. Notably, Colaoni Gabriele, the founder of the company, hails from the very lands where the epic air battle took place and has worked for both Alfa Romeo and Ferrari, further solidifying the logo's significance to the company's identity.
