Some years ago I received the following information from an Italian friend:
the ferrari horse is the logo of somec, there is a little story about it: obviously ferrari owned that logo first and when enzo ferrari knew about the fact that somec used that logo got upset and wanted to meet mister somec, they whent for a meeting on a dinner in a resturant, and enzo asked somec why he would have done so, somec said that he wanted his bikes to be as fast and powerfull as ferrari cars, enzo was happy about it and they chose that one horse had to have the tail down and the other had to have the tail up, and this how different they shuold be and how we used to make business in italy back then. verniciatura fratelli martini means that it was painted at a place owned by the martini brothers that was in a town called lugo.
