Angelo Marello

Born in Vesime, in the province of Asti, on 13 April 1934 and raised in Santo Stefano Belbo, Marello had turned his workshop, overlooking the Po and facing the Luigi Einaudi university campus, into a meeting place for Turin administrators, artists and sportspeople.¹³

A great cycling enthusiast, he was a friend of Franco Balmamion, Italo Zilioli and Nino Defilippis, with whom he built a monument to Fausto Coppi near Turin's Motovelodromo; he was also a longtime supporter of Torino Football Club.¹³
