April 2018/February 2025 Some days ago I decided to visit my mother's office as we wanted to have lunch together, which never happens on working days, while heading to the city centre, I noticed this red Ferrari 488 parked at the side of the road, I quickly recognized this specimen from its plate and jumped out the bus at the first stop, but what do I mean when I say recognized? This car has a very interesting story as I have already seen it almost 7 years before, but sadly the lighting conditions were too difficult to allow my unexperienced past me an my old camera spotting it, so I gave up after I took only a few photos, of which only the front pics were good, I hoped to see it again but it never happened until a few days ago. As it was difficult to take a good front pic from the left side I used one of those 2018 pics, and noticed that my father, who passed away only a couple months after I took the pic, is visible behind the car, which makes this spot somewhat very touching...

What an amazing story...and a great tribute to your father. Sorry to hear he passed away in 2018, and based on the pic....much too soon!

Stupenda la 488, e bellissima storia! Sono felice che tu sia riuscito a ritrovarla e completare lo spot. Mi dispiace ancora molto per l’accaduto, e ti auguro sempre di stare bene e andate avanti stando il meglio possibile ❤️

Hello, Giacomo. Your narrative was truly inspiring. We don't have a clue on how much time we have to enjoy our loved ones. Treat everyday as a gift, and find something that inspires you. Your passion for car spotting has always been a strong one, especially knowing that your 10 year AG milestone is fast approaching. Even though we have never met in person I have a strong feeling from our communications that you are a thoughtful and kind man. Your dad would be proud, my friend. No doubt he and Enzo ( Ferrari ) have been smiling down on you through every car spot. Talk with you very soon, my friend. @JACK888 Turin Spotter

Oh man so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine losing someone so close so early. It must have been pretty hard for you, but hopefully you have some fond memories with your father so you can remember him that way.

I'm so sorry for your loss, my friend. 😓
It's very hard loosing someone you love, especially if it's your dad. I've lost my grandfather in 2023 and it was a heartbreaking moment to say the least. No matter how sad it may be, always remember that the loved ones will always be watching you from above.

Very sorry for you, your father and your family. It must have been very hard for you losing someone that close. Even though he might be gone physically, his spirit and legacy will live on, in and around you. ❤️
Beautiful Ferrari as well. Great spot
