This is the original first Italian version (hardcover) published in 2009. An English version was later published in 2010 under the translated title, "Ferrari World Champions: The Cars that beat the world."

Ferrari Mondiali is a celebration of Ferrari's success in Formula 1 and sports/GT car racing. This book is divided into two halves - the first part describes Ferrari's world championships in Formula 1 (from 1952-2008) and the second part, Ferrari's participation in sports cars and GT (from 1953-1972).

Pino Allievi opens the book with a foreword that leads to the history of Ferrari F1 from 1952 with Ascari in the 500 F2, Fangio in the Ferrari Lancia D50, Peter Collins/Mike Hawthorn in the 246 F1, Phil Hill in the 156, Surtees in the 158, Lauda/Regazonni in the 312T & 312T2, Villeneuve in the 312T4, Villeneuve/Pironi in the 126C2, Tambay/Arnoux in the 126c3, moving to Irvine/Schumacher in the F399 and the most successful phase between 2000-2004 with Schumi and finally 2007-2008 with Kimi Räikkönen.

Interestingly, Berger, Alesi, Alboreto and several other Ferrari drivers do not feature. The book also includes a couple of double-page spreads with driver profiles of Ascari, Lauda and Schumacher.

The Sports Car section covers the early 50s with Farina, Mille Miglia success with the '56 Ferrari 290MM driven by Castellotti and Fangio, the legendary Le Mans-winning 250 Testa Rossa, the curvaceous 330 P4 with Andretti, Regazzoni, Ickx, Peterson and Schenken.

There are also a couple of 3D drawings of the 500 F2, 250 GT, 250 GTO and the 330 P4.

The overall condition is very good with minor signs of use.
