Giorgio Scarlatti (2 October 1921 – 26 July 1990)[1] was a racing driver from Italy. He participated in 15 Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 13 May 1956.
Scarlatti was born in Rome. He got interested in racing right after the end of World War II. 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[2] and the Italian Grand Prix, where he finished fifth, sharing the car with Harry Schell.
