A PLAQUE IN THE RACE CONTROL ROOM TO COMMEMORATE 60 YEARS SINCE SCARFIOTTI’S VICTORY

Sixty years have passed since the last victory by an Italian driver in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. It was 1966 when Lodovico Scarfiotti, driving for Ferrari, claimed victory at the Brianza circuit, a triumph that still stands today as the last win by an Italian driver in his home Grand Prix.

To commemorate the achievement, Autodromo Nazionale Monza chose to honour Scarfiotti together with his family in a ceremony held at the heart of the circuit: the Race Director’s control room. It was a particularly meaningful location, chosen to pay tribute to one of the key figures in the history of the track.

During the ceremony, a plaque dedicated to Lodovico Scarfiotti was unveiled. Two further plaques were presented to Luigi Scarfiotti, the driver’s son, who was accompanied by his wife, Carlotta, and their son, named Lodovico after his grandfather.

The presence of the family created an ideal link between the 1966 victory and the generations that have kept its memory alive. The ceremony was attended by ACI Vice President Piergiorgio Re, Automobile Club Milano President Pietro Meda, Autodromo Nazionale Monza President Giuseppe Redaelli, and Automobile Club Macerata President Enrico Ruffini, who was accompanied by a local delegation also representing the Marche Region.
