The founder of the Italian trade magazine publishing company, Facto Edizioni, Danilo Tosetto, has died, aged 69.
Tosetto, who was a familiar face on the international trade show circuit, died on Monday in hospital after battling cancer.
His Games and Parks Industry magazine was the principal coin machine publication in Italy, founded by Tosetto in 1984.
Tosetto was an editor and journalist all his life and worked hard to promote the industry’s culture. In recent years he had focused on the world of attractions and travelling shows as well as amusement parks.
A spokesman for GiocoNews said: “He was an innovator who built his company from nothing, creating and cultivating a niche of enthusiasts as well as an audience of entrepreneurs.”
Tosetto lived in Padova and leaves a wife, daughter and two sons. The funeral was held on Wednesday.
