Biography
Born in Ravenna on 10 September 1884, Gamberini began his professional career in 1907 as an independent rider. After two seasons, he joined the Italian team Felsina in 1909, then alternated between riding as an individual and for teams such as L'Italiana.[1]
He participated in four editions of the Giro d'Italia between 1909 and 1912. He made his Giro debut in 1909, placing 24th overall. The following year he delivered his best general classification result, finishing ninth in the 1910 Giro d'Italia. In the 1911 Giro d'Italia, Gamberini took a podium spot in stage 8 behind Lauro Bordin and Lucien Petit-Breton.[2] He finished this edition 15th overall. His final Giro appearance came in 1912, when results were recorded by team ranking.[2][3][4]
Gamberini also competed in other international monumental races including the Tour de France, placing 18th in the 1909 Tour de France, two times Milan–San Remo and the Giro di Lombardia. He retired from professional cycling in 1914 and died in 1951.[4][3]
