Alfredino Ferrari, called Dino, was the son of Ferrari automobile's Enzo Ferrari. From an early age Enzo was grooming his son to be his successor. Dino suggested to Enzo Ferrari the development of a 1.5 L DOHC V6 engine for F2 at the end of 1955. Soon afterwards, Alfredo fell ill, suffering from muscular dystrophy. While in hospital, he discussed technical details with the engineer Vittorio Jano. Dino would never see the engine; before his namesake automobiles Fiat Dinos and Dinos were produced. To honor his son, Enzo named the V-6 engine series of road and racing cars after him. The Dino is one of the best-known Ferrari series.
∼Alfredo, nicknamed Alfredino or Dino, was an Italian automotive engineer and the son of Enzo and Laura Dominica (Garello).
Alfredo studied economics in Bologna before moving to mechanical engineering in Switzerland. During this time his physical movements gradually became stiff and often he was unable to maintain his balance. Doctors initially were unable to diagnose the malady that was afflicting him. Eventually it was determined that Alfredo was suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy. He died at age 24.
