Deadline notes that Maserati was founded in 1914 in a garage in Bologna by three brothers, Alfieri, Ettore, and Ernesto. Known today for luxury cars, Maserati was initially rooted in car racing. The company's first Grand Prix vehicle was driven by Alfieri Maserati in the 1927 Messina Cup, where he suffered a near-fatal crash. Alfieri died a few years later at 44, due to injuries from the crash. In 1937, the brothers sold a controlling stake in the company, which is now owned by Fiat. (ANI)
