Arzani-Volpini (also known asScuderia Volpini) was an ItalianFormula One constructor, established byGian Paolo Volpini[1][2] and engine-builderEgidio Arzani.
Volpini was initially involved in the lower classes ofFormula racing, such asFormula Junior andFormula Three. Volpini joined forces with Arzani in 1954, hoping to enter the Formula One World Championship. To this end, the team purchased the chassis of the1950Scuderia Milano-Maserati for the1955 Formula One season. The team subsequently improved the engine and the bodywork of the car. The body was constructed byCarrozzeria Colli. It was entered in the1955 Valentino Grand Prix forMario Alborghetti, but it could not be constructed in time. The team made its debut in the1955 Grand Prix de Pau, where Alborghetti suffered a fatal crash.
The team contested only one Formula One World Championship Grand Prix, the1955 Italian Grand Prix.Luigi Piotti drove the car, but did not start the race due to a problem with hisMaserati-SpeluzziCLT 2.5-litreL4 engine. The team did not return to Formula One afterwards, continuing to construct cars forFormula Junior andFormula Three. One of the customers wasLorenzo Bandini.
