Mario Chigiotti

MARIO CHIGIOTTI – A geometer. He is the “fat boss”. He was in Marconi’s Engineers Corps during the Second World War, at first with the 7th Engineers, and then with the 2nd Regiment of Engineers. He was awarded lots of medals for work "in the field" and always managed to get safely out of danger, thanks usually to his unbelievable luck. He mined eighteen bridges and then, after September 8th, he had to de-mine them. Later he had been the leader of a special team that had to de-mine a route north. He doesn't sleep a quietly unless he has at least one mine under his bed. He was in Bologna with his men in April '45; when war was over, he tried to become a geometer, but the "call of the wild" was too strong, and he worked in mine disposal again. He was hired by BOCAMI, and now he is the manager, many of “his men” followed him to the company.
