==Post-war racing== [[File:Nuvolari steering wheel Cisitalia D46.jpg|thumb|Steering wheel adrift on his Cisitalia D46, Nuvolari finishes 13th in the 1946 Coppa Brezzi.]] In 1946 Nuvolari took part in thirteen races, winning the Grand Prix of Albi in a [[Maserati 4CL]], finishing 4th in the Grand Prix of Nations and 13th in the Coppa Brezzi, and retiring from the others.{{sfn|Hilton|2003|page=261}} It was noted that when he raced at Milan in September, he steered with mostly one hand; the other held a bloodstained handkerchief over his mouth.{{sfn|Walker|Taylor|2001|pages=17-20}} Through 1947 and 1948 he raced eleven times, winning twice. He finished 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 7th, and retired from the remaining five races. His Maserati did not qualify for the 1949 Marseilles Grand Prix.{{sfn|Hilton|2003|page=261}} Battered by health problems as well as the loss of his two sons, Nuvolari was nevertheless persuaded by Enzo Ferrari to race in the 1948 edition of the Mille Miglia. Paired with mechanic Sergio Scapinelli, Nuvolari took the lead in the early stages of the race. He was eventually forced to retire the car in [[Reggio Emilia]] when he had a 27-minutes lead.<ref>[https://www.motoremotion.it/2018/05/01/nuvolari-e-lultima-mille-miglia/ Nuvolari e l’ultima Mille Miglia] ''tr. "Nuvolari and the last Mille Miglia "'' 1 May 2018, ''www.motoremotion.it'', accessed 9 April 2021</ref> His last appearance in competition was at the Palermo-Montepellegrino hillclimb on 10 April 1950, driving a [[Squadra Abarth]] [[Abarth Cisitalia 204A|Cisitalia-Abarth 204]]. He won his class and finished fifth overall.<ref name="officialsite_bio_2" />
