Giuliano Faloppa, friend of cycling and cyclists, has died at 53 years old. He was the son of the legendary Silvano Faloppa, from whom he had passionately inherited the management - together with his mother Rosanna and sister Eva - of the Restaurant "Da Faloppa", which has always been the home of the Team CS Spercenigo where champions like Matteo Trentin, Nicola Boem, Matej Mugerli, Simone Cadamuro and the Treviso native from Postioma Alessandro Bertuola, all of whom became professional cyclists, have stayed for many years.

Giuliano was the soul of the restaurant "Da Silvano" which was opened in 1971 by his father Silvano, in the hamlet of San Martino in San Biagio (Tv). The venue was extremely popular and a reference point for neighborhood life. The restaurant was famous for its hand-made boiled meat with horseradish.

With equal passion, he dedicated himself to organizing the "San Martino Ride" in which numerous cycling societies and many athletes participate.

He leaves in grief his mother Rosanna, his sister Eva with whom he managed the family restaurant, his brother-in-law Nicola, his nephews Luca and Jenny, all his relatives and many friends.

The final farewell to Giuliano Faloppa, who passed away Wednesday evening from a severe form of leukemia, will be celebrated this afternoon in the church of San Biagio di Callalta.
