Yesterday Leopoldo Pirelli passed away on his villa in Portofino, Italy. He was the ex-president of Pirelli &C.SpA . He is also known as the man who appeared simultaneously with the famous calendar.
Leopoldo Pirelli is not the founder of the Pirelli company. Pirelli was founded in 19th century, in 1872 by Leopoldo's grandfather - Jovanni Batista Pirelli. The famous Italian was fascinated by Indian rubber possibilities, which turned out to be very useful.
