Franco Giorgetti (13 October 1902 – 18 March 1983) was an Italian racing cyclist and Olympic champion in track cycling.[1]
Giorgetti was born in Bovisio-Masciago. He won a gold medal in the team pursuit at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp (with Arnaldo Carli, Ruggero Ferrario and Primo Magnani). Giorgetti also specialized motor-paced racing. He was the American motor-paced champion in 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, and 1934 and won the Italian championship in 1933 and 1941. He was a top six-day racer as well. He won the prestigious Six Days of New York a record eight times, the first time in 1926 with Reggie McNamara. He returned to Italy before World War II and died in Varese, aged 80.[1]
