Bruno Presenti

Bruno Presenti was an Italian amateur racing driver active in the 1920s.

Career

Presenti's owned an Alfa Romeo dealership in Florence,[1] and occasionally entered Alfa Romeos as a private entrant in races in the 1920s. He was good enough to be invited as a reserve or subordinate driver for the factory team on occasion, and shared Giuseppe Campari's Alfa at the 1924 Italian Grand Prix to a 3rd-place finish.[2] Presenti was also 4th at the Coppa Acerbo in an Alfa Romeo RL the same year, the race being won by Enzo Ferrari.[3] Presenti's most successful performance came in the 1928 Circuito del Mugello, finishing 2nd in an Alfa Romeo 8C, behind Emilio Materassi in a Talbot 700 but ahead of Ferrari's Alfa.[4]

Presenti took part in the Mille Miglia twice, both times in an Alfa Romeo RL, supersport variation; in the first running in 1927, as subordinate driver to Gastone Brilli-Peri, and the pair led before retiring.[5] In 1928 Presenti, this time as senior driver with Carlo Canavesi, finished 8th.[6]
