Marco Cimatti
Olympic cyclist (1913–1982)
Marco Cimatti (13 February 1913 – 21 May 1982) was an Italian cyclist who won a gold medal in the team pursuit at the 1932 Olympics. In 1934, he turned professional and won three stages of the 1937 Giro d'Italia and the opening stage of the 1938 Giro. In 1937, he founded a small company named Cimatti, which initially produced bicycles, but in the 1950s–1960s changed to mopeds and motorcycles. His son Enrico later expanded the business to export motorcycles to the United States, France, Norway and Tunisia.

Why this record matters
The phrase “olympic cyclist (1913–1982)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q129183. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1913, 1982, 1932 and 1934.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
