UNA VITA DI...CORSE
MEMORIE DI UN LATTONIERE
Primo Felotti's family lived in the Bergamo countryside of the early 1900s: he was only a child when they moved to Varese to take part in the reclamation of an area close to Malpensa.
What was just a moor will turn into an airfield, a small airport, the headquarters of some Italian excellences such as Agusta helicopters and MV Agusta until the boom of the 1960s.
The young and ingenious Primo, starting from the job of tinsmith, will participate in the development of racing motorcycles (from the 1950s to the winners of several Paris-Dakar), at the birth of helicopters in Italy becoming, in his small way, a staple in the creation of models and prototypes.
The history of our country, before, during and after the Second World War, the 60s, 70s and 80s are the background where the life of Felotti and his biography - full of anecdotes and historical insights - takes place.
One of the "minor" but no less interesting stories of an Italy that was changing and was industrializing.
