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.

*Tolmino Gios finishes third behind Adlo Bini and Giuseppe Olmo, 1936 Milan-Modena*

*A disappointing fourth for Peter Sagan, Milan-Sanremo*

*“Every time I got on a plane, I’d write on the in-flight menu and fill it up with thoughts, drawings and projects.” The great Ernesto Colnago, issue 19.7*

*From a time before Garmins and smartphones. The lovingly detailed training diary of Gios rider Franco Canevero, 1956*
