Leopoldo Tartarini was born in Bologna on 10 August 1932. His father, Egisto, is a motorcycle dealer, who repairs in the attached workshop, and a good rider riding a Moto Guzzi sidecar with which he participates in local competitions, such as the Circuito dei Giardini Margherita and the climb to Colle dell'Osservanza. With these premises, Leopoldo, Poldino for all, can only grow with a passion for two wheels, so much so that his father builds a mini-sidecar on which he can ride happily with his sisters at the age of four. After the war, after completing his studies, he enrolled in the faculty of Architecture in Florence, but returned to Bologna after a year due to the death of his father following injuries sustained during a competition.
