ROMA. He passed away today Franco Tombafather of Alberto (photo Ansa). A very private person, Franco Tomba has always remained behind the scenes, but he was one of the protagonists of a long season of winter sports, not only for being the parent of one of the legends of alpine skiing, but also for his great passion for sport, which has always distinguished him. “These are moments in which it is inevitable to relive the memories of an intense and lifelong relationship – said the president of Fisi, Flavio Rodawho has always been very close to the family of the Bolognese champion – Franco is the one who made Alberto become the champion that everyone knows, but he did it elegantly and with great seriousness. I want to remember an anecdote. He told me: Flavio, make them ski in all conditions. Do you know how to trace? Well, listen to their sensations… At that moment Alberto was the youngest and was training with his cousin Simona and his brother Marco. Now I am close to the family, in this delicate moment.”
Franco Tomba leaves behind his wife, Maria Grazia, and three children: Alberto, Alessia and Marco. “The President, the athletes, the technicians, the managers and all the staff of the Italian Winter Sports Federation join the Tomba family in these days of pain”, we read on the Fisi website.
