born on January 29, 1958 in Bassano
1st Kadett rally
in 1979
He began his
career with a LANCIA
and yet it was with the OPEL ASCONA that his talents were recognized. Since MUNARI's retirement,
all of Italy was
waiting for its
champion.
Thanks to Cesare
FIORIO, he won a few titles,
at a time when the competition
was starting to . become tougher.
Later, at the wheel of FORD, he was a little dominated by his teammates....hence his retirement??
His favorite event? PORTUGAL: see above!!!
ANECDOTE: His pet peeve? Jean RAGNOTTI. "but what
does he want from me behind? Me, since PORTUGAL,
when I see a LANCIA
in front......I attack!!!
We are waiting for the Italian
succession...Maybe with
the return to the top of LANCIA?
