Video about the Bicycles made by Ernesto Colnago
Ernesto Colnago was born in Cambiago, a small rural village twenty kilometers east of Milano on February 9, 1932. His parents, Antonio and Elvira, were farmers who were well thought of in the district. They were hard workers and the home of the Colnago’s was a simple farmhouse, where the three brothers of Antonio, Fiorentino, Ambrogio also lived, as well as Grandfather Filippo. Little Ernesto had a typical childhood for the era until he was 6, when he began school and helped out with chores on the farm. One fine day in 1943, Papà Antonio sent little Ernesto to work in the local country store. That was the end of his regular schooling. Better yet, first work, then night school. Young Ernesto went to work in a little workshop owned by a certain Dante Fumagalli, to whom the Colnago family paid two kilos of flour each week for the apprenticeship of his son. Right after World War Two ended, a friend of Ernesto, found him a new direction.
