He passed away this morning without even realizing the journey he was about to undertake, after having made countless journeys in his life. Dino Falconi, born in '36, a historic mechanic from Barbiano di Cotignola (Ravenna), passed away in his sleep, who in his workshop practically baptized almost all Romagna cyclists. Mechanic for Davide Cassani, Fabiano Fontanelli, Roberto Conti, Orlando Maini, as well as Francesco Moser and Marco Pantani, and also Franco Ballerini. In the last flood, he had lost his house. The municipality had provided him with a small apartment in the center of Barbiano, right above his workshop. Now he is moving his hands in a celestial country, full of cyclists.

To pay homage to Dino, we invite you to reread the "Story" dedicated to him on our portal by Giuseppe Figini
