Alberto Ascari Autograph Signed Image – 1947 Modena Grand Prix

This period magazine image shows Alberto Ascari driving the Maserati A6GCS during the 1947 Modena Grand Prix. Ascari has signed across the image in pencil, creating a desirable and historical display piece connected to one of the most important names in Italian racing history.

The 1947 Modena event was a significant moment for Maserati, marking the early competition history of the A6GCS, the marque’s first major post-war sports racing car. Ascari, who would later become the first two-time Formula One World Champion with Ferrari, was already establishing himself as one of Italy’s finest drivers, and his victory at Modena helped underline both his rising status and the promise of Maserati’s new competition machinery.

The image itself appears to have originated from a period magazine and has been laid to card. As expected with an original vintage item of this nature, it shows age-related wear, including staining, surface creases, edge wear and minor paper loss to the edges. These imperfections are part of its long history and vintage character, but they should be noted by collectors seeking condition-sensitive material. The condition is reflected in the list price, presenting collectors with the opportunity to acquire an authentic Alberto Ascari signature at a considerably lower price than well-preserved original material would typically command on the market.

A charming and historically significant Alberto Ascari autograph item, ideal for collectors of Maserati & Ferrari memorabilia, early post-war Grand Prix history, Italian motor racing, vintage motorsport photography and signed Formula One-related memorabilia.

The image measures 4 x 7 inches and matted to an overall size of 9 x 7 inches
