Maranello (Modenese: {{lang|egl|Maranèl}}) is a city of Italy in the province of Modena, in the region of Emilia-Romagna, 18 km from Modena, with a population of 17,504 as of 2017.

Ferrari SpA
Maranello has been the location of the Ferrari factory since the early 1940s. During World War II, Enzo Ferrari transferred to Modena, ending its ownership of Alfa Romeo. Initially, Ferrari's factory in Maranello was shared with Auto Avio Costruzioni, a machine tool manufacturing business started by Enzo to tide the company over while Alfa Romeo's ban on Enzo Ferrari making cars bearing the Ferrari name was in force. Maranello also houses the Museo Ferrari public museum, collecting sports cars, racing cars and trophies.
Its new library opened in November 2011, and was designed by Arata Isozaki and Andrea Maffei.{{cite web |url=http://www.dezeen.com/2012/12/16/new-town-library-in-maranello-by-arata-isozaki-and-andrea-maffei/ |title=New Town Library in Maranello by Arata Isozaki and Andrea Maffei |date=16 December 2012 |publisher=Dezeen |access-date=26 January 2013 |archive-date=26 January 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130126143854/http://www.dezeen.com/2012/12/16/new-town-library-in-maranello-by-arata-isozaki-and-andrea-maffei/ |url-status=live }}
