Google translate:

The Italian motorcycling mourns one of its most famous designers and appreciated, Sergio Robbiano, 48, lost his life in a fatal collision between a motorcycle and a truck on the provincial Lace, in the municipality of Torriglia in Trebbia. Blocked traffic and immediate intervention of the 118 and the police, who found the death of the designer.

Sergio Robbiano, born in Palermo, but long resident in Genoa, was one of the favorite students of Massimo Tamburini, one of the greatest Italian architects of motion, passed away recently after a long illness. Robbiano had worked at the CRC, the research center Castiglioni, where they were born as basic motorcycle Ducati 916. During that time he had followed the whole project Cagiva Mito Ev 125 and edited the lines of Husqvarna models, as well. He then worked at the Bimota (where he signed the 500 V2 and the DB5) and the manufacturer of AGV helmets.
