Fabio Taglioni - Definition

Fabio Taglioni (born September 10, 1920, Lugo di Romagna, Italy; died July 18, 2001, Bologna, Italy) was chief designer and technical director of Ducati Motor Holding from 1954 until 1989. His desmodromic v-twin design is still used in all current Ducati motorcycle engines.
