Giorgio Scarlatti (2 October 1921 – 26 July 1990) was a racing driver from Italy. He participated in 15 Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 13 May 1956.
Formula One career
Scarlatti was born in Rome. He got interested in racing right after the end of World War Two. His first outings were with a Maserati A6. In 1955, he entered the Naples Grand Prix at the wheel of a Ferrari 500 F2 and finished fourth.
Scarlatti's performance caught the eye of Maserati, who decided to hire him for the 1957 Formula One season. Scarlatti's best results were at the Pescara Grand Prix, where he narrowly missed out on the points-scoring positions when his Maserati 250F was overtaken in the latter stages by Stuart Lewis-Evans and the Italian Grand Prix, where he finished fifth, sharing the car with Harry Schell.
Sports car racing
In 1957, Scarlatti competed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, sharing a Maserati with Joakim Bonnier. Bonnier and Scarlatti were forced to retire after seven hours due to a clutch problem.
In 1958, Scarlatti finished second at the Targa Florio together with Jean Behra on a Porsche 718. In 1961, Scarlatti and Lorenzo Bandini won the 4 Hours of Pescara on a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa.
