Paint Trivia
“Rosso Mars” symbolizes Italy’s traditional racing red, as established at the beginning of last century in motor racing, when the home nations of the competitors were indicated by the color of the paint on the vehicles. Dark green stood for Great Britain, blue was for France, white (and silver later on) represented Germany, white and blue stripes for the United States, and red was the color of all race cars from Italy
