Nello Fortunato

He was hit by a truck during a walk with his dog in the city. Nello was 69 years old.
He imported Rond-Sachs, but when the Dutch firm stopped, he build his own bikes: Nello.
Some famous Italian riders like Perego and Gualdi had fun on his bikes.
Later on he worked for KTM & Honda and did some preparations
on engines for the big Dakar.
