Cirillo "Nello" Pagani (born 19 October 1911 in Milan, died 19 October 2003 in Bresso) was an Italian racing driver who competed in the 1950 Swiss Grand Prix. He won the 1949 125cc World Motorcycle Championship, without hitting the same success on four wheels in the championship. Nonetheless, his greatest moment came in the 1951 Italian Grand Prix, where, driving for Ecurie Nationale Belge, he scored pole position, led 23 laps and finished second after a close battle with Toulo de Graffenried. Continuing his career with Redman Racing Team, he scored two more points, but the team's insistance on using Maserati machinery drove them to pulling out of the sport from a lack of success. Pagani signed with Ferrari in 1955, but the team was experiencing heavy financial issues and did not attend any races. When Simone Bizzarri eventually invested in the team, Pagani was not retained, and he ended his racing career at the end of the season.
