Miguel Angel Galluzzi

Miguel Angel Galluzzi (Buenos Aires, 1959) is an industrial designer specializing in motorcycle design who created the Ducati Monster, an "instant icon that singlehandedly launched the naked bike niche," and "became the company's best selling and most profitable model line and carried the company through many lean years," possibly saving them from ruin. The idea of the minimalist Monster began with Galluzzi thinking, "All you need is a saddle, tank, engine, two wheels and handlebars". Monsters eventually accounted for two-thirds or more of Ducati's output.
