Tiziano is artisan and he made bikes. Beautiful bikes. / Tiziano è artigiano e fa biciclette. Belle biciclette

extract from the article:

“Well that went well. Tiziano and his wife Elena are lovely people, with fascinating history and some beautiful, beautiful telai. It transpires they met in 1980, when she went to help him with a Dutch bloke who wanted to buy a bike. She was 24 and living in Italy because it always rains in Groningen, where she comes from. They fell in love and started working together. He built the frames in italian, she sold them in French, Dutch and English, and eventually TVM used them to win bike races all over Europe.”
