He died at the age of 73 after an illness. Entrepreneur linked to the world of stone had managed the company Albatros

Aldo Antonioli he was 74 years old (he would have made them on November 17th) and died after an illness that, despite his great desire to fight, did not leave him any way out.

Yet Aldo himself has his own mass to defeat the evil that had attacked him and to which he has always looked him straight in the eye, as he did with friends, the real ones, and with enemies who never scared him.

Aldo Antonioli was an entrepreneur of those who had made themselves. A past in the seaside sector, then as a representative of ceramics. At the end of the seventies the challenge of marble. With a model company in that of Canevara. Here Aldo Antonioli produced marble tiles but, he also met friends of a lifetime, for dinners that made history.

It is precisely the friends who in recent days have made a continuous pilgrimage to the Hospice of Don Gnocchi where Aldo was hospitalized and where he died on Sunday evening.

They are the same friends that even yesterday arrived in the morgue to see him one last time, to give a greeting to a special person who always had a smile printed, even in difficult moments, and who always knew how to make a laugh even when for him, during the period of his illness, it was a particularly dark period.

There are many memories of those who knew Aldo Antonioli well: his closest friends remember his "basganze" (kissing in the dialect of Massa) with which they were greeted anywhere in the world. A trademark, the style of Aldo Antonioli that made him for many a difficult friend to forget and to whom it is really heartbreaking to say goodbye forever.

The funeral of Aldo Antonioli will take place this afternoon at 3 pm in Castagnola, the town where he was born and where he had lived for a week in his life. A life, that of Aldo Antonioli, always lived with grit and optimism. His desire to live was contagious, the same desire to live that allowed him to fight until the end against an illness that left him no way out. –
