I am sure that many of you are aware that Claudio Castiglioni passed away at the age of 64 on  the 10th August 2011.

He joined his father’s metalwork company CAGIVA, which later diversified interests and went on to purchase many an iconic Italian motorcycle company, helping to create a worldwide interest for brands such as Ducati and MV Agusta again. Cagiva later went on to sell Ducati to Texas Pacific Group but the security and longevity of the brand had by then begun.

Claudio was recognised as being responsible for the iconic Ducati 916 and the MV Agusta F4, condolences to his family and friends.
