Umberto Maglioli (5 June 1928 – 7 February 1999) was an Italian racing driver, who competed in Formula One at 10 Grands Prix from 1953 to 1957. In endurance racing, Maglioli was a three-time winner of the Targa Florio.
Maglioli participated in ten Formula One Grands Prix with Ferrari, Maserati, and Porsche. He achieved two podiums, and scored 3 1⁄3 championship points. He participated in the Targa Florio race nineteen times, winning it three times, and the Mille Miglia ten times, with the best result being a second place in the Lancia Aurelia B20 GT in 1951.
Mike Hawthorn and Umberto Maglioli in the #28 Ferrari 340/375 MM at the 2nd Pescara GP on Aug 16, 1953. This is chassis #0320AM.
Born in Bioglio, Vercelli, he was introduced to racing by Giovanni Bracco and accompanied him on several Mille Miglias and Targa Florios. In 1953, he won the Targa (single-handed) for the first time, in a Lancia D20, and also the Pescara 12hr race, driving a Ferrari 375 MM with Mike Hawthorn. Maglioli also won the last Carrera Panamericana in 1954, driving the Ferrari 375 Plus. The same year he also won the 1000 km Buenos Aires (with Giuseppe Farina) and the 1000Km Supercortemaggiore at Monza, again with Hawthorn.
Maglioli joined Porsche in 1956 and won the Targa Florio, again single-handed. In 1957, under established rules which allowed F2 cars to enter Grand Prix, Porsche entered two 550RSs for the German Grand Prix, one driven by Maglioli and the other by Edgar Barth. Maglioli though failed to finish. Later that year he crashed his Porsche during the Gaisburg hillclimb in Austria. He recuperated in a hospital in Salzburg with leg injuries so severe that doctors initially feared he may not walk again.
In 1964, Maglioli won the Sebring 12hrs for Ferrari and in 1968 scored his third Targa victory (this time with Vic Elford) in a works Porsche 907. Maglioli retired from racing in 1970. He died in Monza in 1999.
