Super sad:
https://www.cyclinside.it/web/e-mort...isti-italiani/ and translated via chrome: 23 Aug 2018 - The news has slipped almost in secret, as well as the character of Dario Pegoretti, a convinced and decisive canvas player with the welding machine in his hand, but equally shy in life. Dario Pegoretti is gone. Difficult to digest this thing thinking of Dario. One so, full of ideas and inventions has always been an institution. A news rebounded by a friend, then confirming the news. As far as we know, Pegoretti would have had a heart problem in the late afternoon, around 7.00pm. And he left right next to his company. Difficult to comment on such news. A person who, beyond the teleworking skill, was also a volcanic mind and full of ideas: have you ever ventured to ask for a precise color for a frame? He would have done his own thing anyway, but leaving everyone fully satisfied. So it was Dario, exuberant and precise in his work, where he often had to make important decisions. A continuous source of stories even beyond the frames. As when he came to follow the presentation of a book by Claudio Gregori and then confessed: do you know that I was his pupil when he was teaching? I still have the excitement to see it. Or one of the first times we had met him, at a fair many years ago. He went to his stand Ugo De Rosa, which Dario considered one of his teachers (but the estimate was mutual). "Are you working well?" Mr. De Rosa. At that moment Dario became very serious and explained his work to De Rosa as a student who answered a question hoping to be sufficiently prepared. It was so Dario. Many call him - they called him - maestro because he was a bit of a lighthouse for a new way of making craft looms and also in the wake of the great Italian tradition. But he was always ready to question himself and learn new things and surprise everyone. This time, however, we wanted a different surprise.

Not that I knew him personally, but it seems Dario lived more during his years than many will who get given an extra few decades...
Hats off to a man who touched many lives through his passion and craft. RIP Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I know this is part of life, but I would dare say Dario’s impact on it and now the subsequent loss of his vision is just unfair. There is a void now in our world that will remain for...well possibly forever.
I am not a religious man, but Godspeed Dario, the heavens will be more beautiful now that they have your inspiration and talent.

Very sad to hear this, I'm glad he has left such a legacy and lasting impact though.

Dario brought a depth of class, culture and style to cycling that it never had before. No one and nothing follows his lead.
He loved art. He brought to cycling such an intense amount of visual arts influence like it is not even possible. Dario is inimitable. Also a true gentleman. Last edited by colker; 08-23-2018 at 03:44 PM.
