Tullio Campagnolo was born in Venice,Italy in 1901 and began his company with a small repair shop. He realised during his racing career that he lost a lot of time trying to unscrew his back tyre to turn it around, which at the time was the only way to change the wheel. As a solution to this problem, he developed the quick release as we know it today! In the following years he invented more and more bicycle parts, such as the prototypes of the modern double parallelogram derailleurs. During the 1940s Campagnolo continued to make a name for itself in the production of bicycle equipment and clothing. By 1950 Campagnolo had employed over 100 workers. In 1955 the first complete group of components was introduced to the cycling market. The brand also produced the modern corkscrew (Cavatappi) and even flew to the moon in 1969 and has been successfully innovating the vintage Formula1.
