Culture | In (and out) of Vogue Sharp haircut, sharper judgments Photograph: Eyevine/Redux/New York Times/Edward Keating 'F ucking' was forbidden. So too was 'chortling', 'quipping', 'donning', 'penning', 'opining' and—lest that list of linguistic prohibitions left any writer feeling faint—'passing away'.

Ferrari is looking less like a carmaker and more like Hermès
Photograph: Maurizio Fiorino/The New York Times/Redux/Eyevine Jul 2nd 2025 | Maranello | 5 min read T he workaday town of Maranello, near such architectural jewels as Bologna and Modena, shares little of their charm. Nevertheless, its main attraction is a centrepiece of Italian culture. A statue of a prancing horse on a roundabout reminds visitors that this is the home of Ferrari. Italian design, exclusivity and racing heritage have made the company both a champion of the car industry and something altogether different.
