Ferruccio Elio Arturo Lamborghini (April 28, 1916 – February 20, 1993) was an
Italian industrialist. Born to grape farmers from the
comune of
Renazzo di Cento in the
Emilia-Romagna region, his mechanical know-how led him to enter the business of
tractor manufacturing in 1948, when he founded Lamborghini Trattori, which quickly became an important manufacturer of agricultural equipment in the midst of Italy's post-war economic reform. In 1959, he opened an
oil heater factory, Lamborghini Bruciatori, which later entered the business of producing
air conditioning equipment. In 1963, he most famously created
Automobili Lamborghini, a maker of high-end
sports cars. Lamborghini sold off many of his interests by the late 1970s, and retired to an estate in
Umbria, where he pursued
winemaking.
