⭐ Core Definition: Tifosi

Tifo (Italian: [ˈtiːfo]) is the phenomenon whereby tifosi of a sports team make a visual display of any choreographed flag, sign, or banner in the stands of a stadium, mostly as part of an association football match, although it expanded to include other sports, for example cycling, Formula One, and ice hockey. Tifo are most commonly seen in important matches, local derbies, and rivalries, and although the tradition originated at football club teams, some national teams also have fans that organise tifo on a regular basis. Sometimes sponsored or arranged by the club itself, tifo is primarily arranged by ultras or a supporter club to show their love to the club.

Tifosi in the context of Ferrari

Ferrari S.p.A. (/fəˈrɑːri/; Italian: [ferˈraːri]) is an Italian luxury sports car manufacturer based in Maranello. Founded in 1939 by Enzo Ferrari (1898–1988), the company built its first car in 1940, adopted its current name in 1945, and began to produce its current line of road cars in 1947. Ferrari became a public company in 1960, and from 1963 to 2014 it was a subsidiary of Fiat S.p.A. It was spun off from Fiat's successor entity, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, in 2016. The company currently offers a large model range which includes several supercars, grand tourers, and one SUV. Many early Ferraris, dating to the 1950s and 1960s, count among the most expensive cars ever sold at auction.

Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where its team, Scuderia Ferrari, is the series' single oldest and most successful. Scuderia Ferrari has raced since 1929, first in Grand Prix events and later in Formula One, where it holds many records. Historically, Ferrari was also highly active in sports car racing, where its cars took many wins in races such as the Mille Miglia, Targa Florio and 24 Hours of Le Mans, as well as several overall victories in the World Sportscar Championship. Scuderia Ferrari fans, commonly called tifosi, are known for their passion and loyalty to the team.
