Giancarlo Breveglieri: ‘Lamborghini service a stone’s throw from Sant’Agata’
Few like Breveglieri know the 12-cylinder Lamborghini. A pupil of Marco Alberti and Alberto Molinari, Lamborghini’s historic mechanics, after working his way up through the ranks and taking ‘evening lessons’ in the workshop of tuner Faccioli, Giancarlo set up on his own, opens workshop in Crevalcore and soon afterwards becomes an official service partner of Casa del Toro.
Giancarlo, let’s start with a difficult question: how did motors get into your heart?
In junior high school, my parents thought it best to enrol me in a school with a musical focus, everyone in the family was a musician. I resisted for a month. The only sound that ravished me was that of engines.
And then?
When I was 14 I started going to a workshop in Bologna: Topolino, Alfa… then I came across Faccioli, a master in tuning Abarth, Jaguar and Porsche. During the day I worked and in the evening I went to school as a mechanical expert. From the age of 18 I worked in various dealerships and then set up on my own: I was 30.
But why Lamborghini and not other brands?
I was lucky enough to meet Daniele Audetto, the then director of Lamborghini Engineering. He put me through my paces in a red Countach 5000. It took me six months of work to get it back on the road. But in the end, the work lived up to expectations and I was able to realise my dream of working as an official workshop for Lamborghini, the brand of my homeland.
