Rossella Minerbi

[038tipo]

It is with regret that I have just heard of the passing of Rossella Minerbi in Italy, she had been suffering from cancer for some time, had received treatment, but suddenly got much worse, passing on saturday peacefully.
She was quite a lady, very individual and did not suffer fools, she attended many AGM weekens with her husband, the great Marcello always travelling from Veneto with him in the Aurelia B12.
She was also secretary and PA to Paolo Stanzani at Bugatti in the Campogalliano plant making the EB110 GT.
Not at all pretentious, she one admitted under pressure  that she was the niece of Carlo Pesenti who owned Lancia at one time, thinking nobody would be at all interested!
Certainly I shall treasure the memories I have of her and the time spent together over the years and I shall miss her no nonsense attitude and individuality.
