‘As you might expect, Pierre Gasly’s life is anything but ordinary. He’s the first Frenchman in more than 20 years to win an F1 race. So, when he’s off the track, why should he settle for an ordinary car?’

These are the words from the on-line commercial for Honda e that was filmed with Pierre Gasly, French Formula 1 driver. Sassy Films, in the UK, asked Fabio Di Segni to be their Location Producer and to find great locations in the Faenza area (chosen because it’s near the Honda plant).

They wanted a luxurious modern house, fit for the Flying Frenchman, and a stunning ride through iconic Italian towns and landscape. The finished video was filmed in Faenza, the medieval town of Brisighella and along a cypress-lined country road that ran between an ancient castle and an imposing clock tower – all within a stone’s throw of the town of Faenza.
