Biography
Mario Lusiani raced as amateur and independent in the 1920s, at a time when amateurs and professionals raced together. He won the Piccolo Giro di Lombardia in 1926, but the best result of his career was in 1928 when he won the Olympic 4,000 metres team pursuit title with Cesare Facciani, Giacomo Gaioni and Luigi Tasselli. Lusiani eventually turned professional but had some disappointing results, with his best performance being a second place in the 1934 Milano-Mantova.
