Scarfiotti's father also raced in the 1930's for Ferrari before becoming a cement manufacturer. A very wealthy man, Scarfiotti was down-to-earth and popular and was an excellent sportscar driver. The 1962 and 1965 European Hillclimb Champion, Lodovico also won the 1963 Sebring 12 Hour race, the 1963 Le Mans, the 1964 and 1965 Nurburgring 1000kms and most famously perhaps, the 1966 Italian Grand Prix for Ferrari. Scarfiotti remains the last Italian winner of the Italian Grand Prix.
