The hope, said Aristotle , is a dream awake. And it is hard to believe that Bicicli Mauro, versatile winger born in Crema January 17, 1935, and seemed to sleep with their eyes open when, in 1953, was noticed by talent scouts and aggregate Inter Inter directly to the youth by the Amateur League. Two seasons later, April 17, 1955, the dynamic right wing play, instead dell'indisponibile striker Lorenzi, his first race as a professional: lost the match 1-0 against Genoa will start the long journey of exile Lombard between the fields of Serie A and B.

Bicicli Unfortunately, right on the most beautiful in the summer of 1963 will leave Milan because of the arrival in November of the previous outstanding competitor in the role of runner-end: Jair Da Costa, twenty-two arrow green and gold of Osasco of St. Paul, fresh winner of the World Chilean false and intoxicating feel inspired. Three
tournaments (two of A) under the Lantern rossoblù, regroup before the team is still remembered as one of the strongest that the history of football has seen the opportunity to play and train every day with fabulous axis of the caliber of Giacinto Facchetti, Sandro Mazzola, Luis Suarez and Mario Corso appeared again in the autumn of 1966 (definitely trickle by Helen Herrera, smart and innovative coach who admired the eclectic Cremonese much to encourage it with phrases like "you're better than Garrincha" )

An aside time management for three years, until the telephone call came the friend Mazzola led him back to Inter, this time in the role of observer and not more than willing tenacity and tireless wing of the brave temperament.
