RIP 'Casti'.

A family steeped in motorcycling history. His father, Giovanni, founded another iconic motorcycle company and cleverly used his name and town - CAstiglioni GIovanni VArese. Claudio took over in 1978.

It's a very sad moment for me, we miss our President Claudio Castiglioni.
As Pomp1 knows Claudio Castiglioni was a special person for me, I used to speak a lot with Him when I worked in the factory in Schiranna and He made me an Husqvarna R&D man..
I saw Him last at the premiere for the new MV Agusta F3 and He put His signature on my C591 fairing..
I was at Castiglioni's house this afternoon to say goodbye to the President..
I'm really sad because He was like a second father for me... Rest in peace Claudio

Really sad loss. He's the proof that business and passion can go hand in hand. I know how bad you must be feeling now and my thoughts are with you my friend.:-(
