Original Artwork Ferrari 500 Mondial Driver Vittorio Marzotto 1954 Mille Miglia

Description

This is original artwork of Ferrari driver Vittorio Marzotto driving the Ferrari 500 Mondial, finishing second in the 1954 Mille Miglia.
The artwork was created by the internationally acclaimed, automotive artist illustrator, Argentinian-born, Hector Luis Bergandi.
Vittorio Marzotto was one of the leading official Ferrari Factory Drivers during the early 1950’s along with Castellotti, Stagnoli, Biondetti, Ascari, Farina, Gonzalez, G. Marzotto, P. Marzotto, Taruffi and Trintignant among others.
V. Marzotto had many successful racing finishes while driving for Ferrari.
“His greatest victory was the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix where he finished first, driving the Ferrari 225 S Spyder Vignale.
It was also Scuderia Ferrari’s greatest victory as well. Marzotto finished first in the Ferrari 225 S.
Castellotti finished second in the Ferrari 225 S.
Stagnoli finished third in the Ferrari 225 S. Jean Lucas finished fourth in the Ferrari 225 S driving for Luigi Chinetti. And Pierre Boncompagni finished fifth in the Ferrari 225 S Vignale Berlinetta for ‘Pagnibon’ ”.
The artist, Hector Luis Bergandi, illustrated the Ferrari Piloti starting with the 1947 stable of official Ferrari drivers. Bergandi's interpretation of each Pilot is compelling, expressive and exciting,
capturing the true racing challenges of each driver and the Ferrari race car they drove.
