A passed away early this morning in a clinic in his beloved Varese.
The far seeing and charismatic Italian manager owner of Cagiva with his brother Giancarlo, helped create along some the most iconic motorcycle models in the world and helped re-launch both Ducati and MV Agusta, bringing the Made in Italy marques to new and exciting heights.
We leave you with Castiglioni’s most famous quote: “Motorcycles make us dream.

They have shapes that sometimes show what inspired their designers.
Sometimes these creations are real works of art that turn the designer into an artist.
