Enzo Ferrari, born November 5, 1953, began his passion for Bonsai in 1974, when this art was practically unknown in our latitudes.

Enzo translated from Japanese "en" means garden, while "zo" means to create

In 1986 he collaborated in the birth of the Bonsai Club Ticino, alongside the President and founder Kurt Wiedwerkehr and became Vice President.
He meets Pius Notter and follows his seminars as a student.
In 2007, in order to better refine his knowledge and improve techniques, he decided to enroll in the Bonsai Art School, initially with Master Hideo Suzuki, later with Maestro Keizo Ando, with whom, in 2012, he obtained with full marks the diploma of the Bonsai Art School.
For over twenty years he has been a member of the Vereinigung Schweizer Bonsai-Freunde (Swiss Association of Friends of Bonsai), also a UBI member (Unione Bonsaisti Italiani), member of AIAS (Italian Association of Suiseki Amateurs) and member of Nippon Bonsai Sakkakyookai Europe (born to disseminate traditional Japanese bonsai in Europe).
He has received national and international awards, while the requests for his presence as a demonstrator in national and international events are constantly increasing. His articles published in the major bonsai magazines are followed with interest.
He constantly follows courses with the best Japanese Masters in order to increase his knowledge and constantly improve himself.
In 2016 he took over the Bonsai Ticino business and became its owner.
In 2017 he founded his school on the Art of Bonsai.
The school name is not chosen by chance:
en-zo Swiss Bonsai School.
Why use the name of the founder, many will ask.
Because translated from Japanese "en" means garden, while "zo" means to create.
