Lamborghini heating homes now?
Discussion
Ferruccio Lamborghini had an air conditioning and heating business long before he started building cars...
As far as I am aware, the same company is still controlled by the Lamborghini family with that business's factory being behind the museum (see pic...) which is usually (and incorrectly) referred to as the Lamborghini family museum. Both that factory and museum are in a small town called Dosso which is between Ferrara and Bologna and about 35 km away from the Lamborghini car factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese.
That museum was built after Ferruccio's death and was actually built to house Ferruccio's own cars and various tractors and the helicopter and a load of other stuff. Certainly, it was built by Tonino Lamborghini to honour his father and has Ferrucios's nephew Fabio as its main curator these days.
Neither the heating/air con business or the Lamborghini vinyard in Umbria (now very well run by Ferruccio's daughter Patrizia) are financially linked to Automobili Lamborghini these days and essentially haven't been since the late seventies.
Perhaps doing just a little research before making 'outraged' assumptions would prevent any incorrect and nonsensical comments being made...

How is it that they are allowed to use the Lamborghini name/font as well as a version of the raging bull emblem, (thus diluting the brand) without Automobili Lamborghini s.p.A making any money out of it or going ballistic?
Without it being too obvious, Lamborghini is "their" name it is the car company that uses it, as it was sold with the rights and privileges afford by the goodwill in the sale. I believe company law is fairly universal in that you cannot stop anyone calling a company after themselves, but cannot call a company the same as one already in existence (hence: blah blah (2009) Ltd).The "raging Bull" emblem is also historically the property of the family. I believe logo's and emblems fall into the same category as the companies in that no two can be the same. Note the heating shield content is different from the car shield.
Look at Triumph motorcycles emblem for the subtleties of differences allowed, The old tank name and the new tank name, the only difference is the length of the swirl under the name.
