Born in Bioglio, Vercelli, he was introduced to racing by Giovanni Bracco and accompanied him on several Mille Miglias and Targa Florios.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/april-1999/5/obituary|title=Obituary – Umberto Maglioli|date=April 1999|magazine=Motor Sport Magazine|access-date=January 1, 2020}} In 1953 he won the Targa (single-handed) for the first time, in a Lancia D20, and also the Pescara 12hr race, driving a Ferrari 375 MM with Mike Hawthorn. Maglioli also won the last Carrera Panamericana in 1954, driving the Ferrari 375 Plus.{{cite web|url=https://www.racingsportscars.com/results/Carrera_Panamericana-1954-11-23.html|title=Carrera Panamericana 1954|website=racingsportscars.com|access-date=July 7, 2019}} The same year he also won the 1000 km Buenos Aires (with Giuseppe Farina) and the 1000Km Supercortemaggiore at Monza, again with Hawthorn.

He joined Porsche in 1956 and won the Targa Florio, again single-handed. In 1957 under established rules which allowed F2 cars to enter Grand Prix, Porsche entered two 550RSs for the German Grand Prix, one driven by Maglioli and the other by Edgar Barth.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/february-1999/43/sportscar-penchant-f1|title=The Sportscar with a Penchant for F1...|magazine=Motor Sport Magazine|date=February 1999|access-date=January 1, 2020}} Maglioli though failed to finish. Later that year he crashed his Porsche during the Gaisburg hillclimb in Austria. He recuperated in a hospital in Salzburg with leg injuries so severe that doctors initially feared he may not walk again.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/drivers/umberto-maglioli|title=Umberto Maglioli biography|magazine=Motor Sport Magazine|access-date=January 1, 2020}}
