I dealt with Luigi Casola when I worked for Campagnolo in the seventies.He spoke Spanish and my boss Michele Chirella would help with the translation.Luigi had a suitcase that would expand to fit amazing quantities of bike parts.I remember helping him tie detto pietro shoes together (at least 100 pair) to fly back to Mexico City with.Luigi was the Campy distributor for Mexico and one of the few people who picked up orders at the warehouse,though we did send some parts to him in Colorado.I'm guessing that he was in his 60's at the time,so he's got to be in his late 80's by now.He was a real class act,and well known in Mexico.Hank Cunningham,Helotes Texas
