With his younger pupil, Umberto Maglioli, he came second in the 1951 Mille Miglia, driving a Lancia Aurelia B20. He raced a Maserati 200S in 1955. At the Modena Grand Prix on 28 September 1947 he lost control of his Delage 3000, accidentally killing five spectators standing too close to the road .[5][6]
