Born in Fobello (near Biella), he was the older son of Vincenzo Lancia and Adele Miglietti, and brother of Anna Maria and Eleonora. After his father's death (1937), the young Gianni Lancia took over the family business. Lancia's racing enthusiasm brought him to hire famed engineer and designer Vittorio Jano in 1945. In 1954 Lancia decided to try his luck in the newly-born Formula One world championship and scored a coup when he managed to lure away Alberto Ascari from Scuderia Ferrari. Despite Ascari winning the 1954 Mille Miglia, poor racing results, coupled with Lancia's ambitious plan to put in production several expensive racing prototypes led the company to near-bankruptcy.[1] Following the death of Ascari during a test in May 1955, Lancia and his mother sold their shares in the Lancia company to Carlo Pesenti of Italcementi in June 1956. Gianni Lancia then moved to Brazil, where he ran a canned goods business before returning to Italy in the 1980s. He lately moved to France, settling in the Côte d'Azur region.[2] Lancia had two sons, Mariele and Vincenzo, from his first marriage, and a son called Lorenzo from his second marriage with the French film-actress Jacqueline Sassard. He died on 30 June 2014 in Cap Ferrat.[3] References1. ^Valerio Moretti, La scommessa di Gianni Lancia (1986), who claims that Gianni Lancia was central, in an organization that at that time (1951-53) housed famous engineers and drivers such as Alberto Ascari, Felice Bonetto, Juan Fangio, Eugenio Castellotti, Luigi Villoresi, Luigi Fagioli and Piero Taruffi. {{Lancia}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Lancia, Gianni}}2. ^Alberto Ascari life story post by Karl Ludvigsen 3. ^{{cite news|last=Zanello|first=Andrea|title=Fobello dà l’addio al figlio del fondatore della Lancia|url=http://www.lastampa.it/2014/07/04/edizioni/vercelli/fobello-d-laddio-al-figlio-del-fondatore-della-lancia-OyMdrvIkL0Im85AXWS7lbO/pagina.html|accessdate=6 July 2014|newspaper=La Stampa|date=4 July 2014|language=it}} 7 : Lancia|1924 births|People from the Province of Vercelli|2014 deaths|Formula One people|Formula One team owners|Italian motorsport people |
