Capo. I referred to as him Capo. For me, he was at all times the boss.
He was Claudio Bortoletto. And for a number of years, after I was beginning my profession, he was the large boss. However because the years glided by, he turned my pal. This week, we mentioned goodbye to him. It’s life. However it doesn’t make it much less unhappy.
Claudio was an unimaginable particular person, an unimaginable crew supervisor. Now, me slightly bit by now, I’m not going to sit down right here and say: “Ah, yeah, Capo was the proper particular person at all times doing every part proper…” Hey, he was a human.
Once I was only a go-fer in Jolly Membership within the late Eighties, he was already very a lot a part of Jolly Membership – he had been from the times of [Fiat] 131 and [Lancia] Stratos. Claudio was the type of man that walked into the room and instantly folks had respect for him. He made positive every part was proper, every part needed to be good. Whenever you took the automotive to scrutineering, you knew which trousers and which shirt you needed to put on.
