You're here because you're interested in Ducatis and maybe racing Ducatis.
If you're outside Italy, chances are you're not very familiar with Franco Farnè, but it's likely that you've seen him in photographs on this blog.
This is Ingegnere Farnè on the left with the 749 at Imola.
He was one of the first employees of the Corse race department when it was created under the Castiglioni brothers in the 1980's and worked with WSB teams until 2000 when, after a short turn with Bimota, he returned to Ducati, working with NCR with Foggy) and then with Stefano Caracchi and Nannelli directly.
Most of this information and many photographs come from Ducati national websites, for example http://lmgtfy.com/?q=farne+site%3Awww.ducatiusa.com. Farnè has been an integral part of the Ducati story since it's inception. Grazie per il mio moto!

Early in his career, Farnè raced the Cucciolo, 125s and 250s. Here, on the right is Farnè on a 125 - and I think I look cool on a bike! |  |
 | Farnè ended up at Ducati and worked with both Fabio Taglioni and NCR to create and support Ducatis race teams when Ducati was still under State ownership. During this period, he worked as engineer and test rider on both the Paul Smart Imola bike and the Hailwood TT project. |
