Eugenio Castellotti (10 October 1930 – 14 March 1957) was a racing driver from Italy. He won the 1956 Mille Miglia and 1956 12 Hours of Sebring, and took several Formula One World Championship podiums. His career was cut short by a fatal testing accident at Modena in 1957. He was nicknamed "Il Bello" ("The Handsome").[1][2]
