Guido Paci [1] (December 27, 1949 - April 10, 1983) was an Italian professional Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. He competed in the 500cc class from 1980 until his death. His best finish to a season was in 1981 when he finished in 11th position in the standings.

Paci was participating in a motorcycle endurance race at Imola in 1983 when he lost control of his bike at full speed, hitting straw bales stacked against a concrete wall at what is now called the Villeneuve chicane. He was still alive when medical crews quickly rushed to his aid, but eventually died of critical head and chest injuries. He was 33 years old.

The Ara Pacis Augustae is an altar in Rome dedicated to Pax, the Roman goddess of Peace. The monument was commissioned by the Roman Senate on July 4, 13 BC to honour the return of Augustus to Rome after three years in Hispania and Gaul and consecrated on January 30, 9 BC. Originally located on the northern outskirts of Rome, a Roman mile from the boundary of the pomerium on the west side of the Via Flaminia, the Ara Pacis stood in the northeastern corner of the Campus Martius, the former flood plain of the Tiber River and gradually became buried under 4 metres (13 ft) of silt deposits. It was reassembled in its current location, now the Museum of the Ara Pacis, in 1938, turned 90° counterclockwise from its original orientation so that the original western side now faces south.
