Every automaker takes pride in the cars it builds today, but there’s something special about the place where it all began and the roots that shaped the brand in the first place. In Italy, that connection runs deep, where iconic names like Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, and Pagani have grown into symbols of Italian craftsmanship, carrying decades, and even a century, of heritage into every car they put on the road and racetrack. This week in Rome, Maserati marked the 100th anniversary of its iconic Trident logo with the unveiling of a commemorative philatelic stamp celebrating its centenary and the first race win at the 1926 Targa Florio in the legendary Tipo 26.
Presented at the historic Palazzo Piacentini in Rome as part of Italy’s “Excellence of the Production and Economic System” stamp series, the Maserati commemorative stamp sets the Modena automaker alongside some of the country’s most celebrated historic brands. Maserati now marks 112 years since its founding, making it the oldest surviving marque in Italy’s famed Motor Valley. From grand touring icons to championship-winning race cars, Maserati’s Trident has long stood as a symbol of craftsmanship and racing DNA that stretches far beyond Italy’s borders.
