Letterio Cucinotta

Letterio Piccolo Cucinotta[1] was an Italian racecar driver who participated in the 1930 Indianapolis 500.

According to Indianapolis Motor Speedway historian Donald Davidson, very little is known about Cucinotta, who was from Messina, Italy, and drove with his own Maserati (sent at his own expense from Italy), but not for the team. He made only one appearance at Indianapolis, and is not known to have participated in any other American major automobile races. He was given the nickname "Piccolo Pete" by the crowd.[2] He participated in many Italian races like Targa Florio.
