Vincenzo Trucco (fl. 1905 – 1930) was an Italian racing driver from Milan.[1] He was the Isotta Fraschini works driver and won the 1908 Targa Florio. He also competed in the 1913 Indianapolis 500, one of the first Europe-based drivers to travel to the U.S. for the event. Trucco was also friend and mentor to Alfieri Maserati, with whom he patented the spark plug.[2]
