Enzo grew up with little formal education. Unlike his brother, he preferred working in his father's workshop and participated in the construction of the canopy at the Giulianova station in 1914. He had ambitions of becoming an operetta tenor, sports journalist, or racing driver. When he was 10 he witnessed [[Felice Nazzaro]]'s win at the [[1908 Circuito di Bologna]], an event which inspired him to become a racing driver.<ref name="imdb.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0274060/bio|title=Enzo Ferrari (I)|access-date=2012-11-18|work=IMDb}}</ref> During [[World War I]], he served in the [[3rd Mountain Artillery Regiment (Italy)|3rd Mountain Artillery Regiment]] of the [[Royal Italian Army|Italian Army]].
