Giovanni Bracco
Giovanni Bracco (born 6 June 1908 in Biella, died 6 August 1968 in Biella) was an Italian racing driver. A privateer for most of his career, he occasionally drove for Ferrari in sportscars, culminating in a victory in the 1952 Mille Miglia. He also competed in Formula 1 from 1951 to 1954 for Scuderia Ambrosiana. While mostly relegated to midfield status, Bracco occasionally competed for podiums, although he never scored any, and he scored a total of 9 championship points, as well as pole position at the 1952 United States Grand Prix. Following an accident at the 1954 Swiss Grand Prix, he was hospitalised, and although he fully recovered, he announced the end of his racing career at the age of 46.
