Vittorio Bellentani (1906 in Modena - ?)[1] was an italian automobile engineer and racing driver.
He studied in Germany at University of Freiburg before joining Enzo Ferrari in 1940, where he first worked on the Auto Avio Costruzioni 815 (1940-46). He then worked for Maserati (1950-55), developing the Maserati A6 (A6GCM 1952; A6SSG 1954), and Maserati 250F, that had been initiated by Gioacchino Colombo who left the company in 1955. Bellentani continued as a consulting engineer for Ferrari (1956-63) on cars as Ferrari 412S (1957)[2] and the 1-litre Ferrarina (1962). He also worked for the Bellentani Riccardo Modena (B.R.M.) company (1955-1957), which had been formed by his brother Riccardo Bellentani. B.R.M. was mostly involved in two-stroke engines, and continued to operate under Riccardo's son, Antonio Bellentani.[3]
