Anna Maria Peduzzi

Anna Maria Peduzzi (12 July 1912 – 23 August 1979) was an Italian racecar driver.

[3] In 1933 she bought an Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 Gran Sport Testa fissa which she raced alone and occasionally with her husband, such as when they drove for Ferrari in the 1934 Mille Miglia, winning the 1.5 litre class and finishing 13rd overall.

As ardent anti-fascists, Peduzzi and Comotti ended up having troubles with Benito Mussolini.

The couple relocated to Paris in 1936 where they made their home until the end of World War II in 1945.

From 1956 to 1959, she mainly raced a 2-litre Ferrari 500 TR, initially teaming-up with Belgian driver Gilberte Thiroin.
