Clivio Piccione

Clivio Piccione (born 24 February 1984 in Monte Carlo, Monaco) is a Monégasque racing driver, who raced in the FIA GP2 Series between 2005 and 2006. Claiming one win in his GP2 career, Piccione would go on to race in various single-seater series as well as the FIA GT1 World Championship before retiring from racing.

Piccione's GP2 career began with Durango, who signed the Monte Carlo based racer to partner Ferdinando Monfardini for the campaign. After a slow start to the season Piccione claimed a shock win at the 2005 Nürburgring Sprint Race, having out-fought several title pretenders, although the Monégasque racer would only manage to claim fifteenth in the championship.

For 2006 Piccione would move to the David Price Racing squad, joining Olivier Pla for the campaign. The Monégasque racer would again have a poor start to the campaign, although with two podium finishes Piccione would improve to twelfth in the championship.

Piccione left GP2 at the end of 2006, joining various single-seater series including Formula Renault 3.5 and A1 Grand Prix. In 2010 Piccione entered the FIA GT1 World Championship, claiming one win in two seasons, before ending his professional racing career at the end of that season.
