Just read it in Italian and French websites, Gino Munaron passed away 23 November 2009 , aged 81.
He drove nearly all kind of racing cars: touring cars , sportscars , formula cars. And in all kind of events: Mille Miglia , Sportscar venues GP and non-championship GP.
And he was author of an 'oversized' book of 4-cylinder Ferraris.
Michael
RIP Gino Munaron

Just beat me to it - I've just seen it - http://www.quattroru...m?codice=214994
What a sad loss. What a fine ambassador he was for historic motor racing. He'll be much missed. RIP
By the way for those who are needing these things (like myself;) he died on the 22nd November in Pecetto di Valenza

You are perfectly right, I met him once or twice at the MM storico...

Sorry to hear this. I believe I saw him in the Peugeot at the Mille Miglia last year. There is a link here:

The tragic is, that he has a daughter which suffers a lot from cancer. When I spoke to him early in 2008 he was very worried about her.
Gino was a very kind and warm person.
May he rest in Peace!

Very sad !
I had the honour of meeting him at this years "Le Mitiche Sport A Bassano" in June, where he also presented the trophys to us.
He looked healthy and had very kind words to everybody.
Just a few days ago I watched the offical event DVD again where there is an interview with him.
