Mario Besana, who had already founded Mebetoys and Martoys, began producing model cars under the Bburago brand in 1976 in Burago di Molgora near Milan. The first models were 1:24, but Bburago also explored other avenues, such as 1:14 Formula 1 cars, 1:18 classic sports cars, and even entered the 1:43 sector with products that were always very affordable. Bburago's production between the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s was immense, with models that defined an era (just think of the Ferrari 250 TR and the F40, both 1:18), and which have remained in the memories of at least two generations of collectors and enthusiasts. In the 1990s, the company lost its dominant position in the 1:18 model market, and in 2005 it painfully closed. Shortly thereafter, Bburago was acquired by competitor Maisto. A wide range of die-cast models in various scales continues to be produced in China under the Bburago name. Since 2015, Bburago has held the license to produce contemporary Ferrari die-cast models.
