Paolo’s wonderful work has adorned the pages of Rouleur since his magazine debut way back in issue 27, and it was the kind of feature he loves to shoot – steel framebuilder Tiziano Zullo at work in his Lake Garda atelier.


He’s been a Rouleur regular ever since, our ‘go to’ man for Italian subject matter, covering the major races alongside work on Marco Pantani, Campagnolo, and a host of artisan bike builders with great stories and tradition to share with our readers.


This year has seen Paolo capture a treasure trove of Gios memorabilia, the great Ernesto Colnago, Strade Bianche and Milan-Sanremo. Here are his favourites.

Colnago
“Enzo Ferrari was a genius. He always told his engineers: ‘Remember that the bicycle is the perfect machine.'” Ernesto Colnago
