Italian passport?

I removed the mention of an italian passport because I couldn't confirm it via a simple google search - it needs a reference of some sort. Also, holding dual passports doesn't make him Swiss-Italian - fore example Roberto Carlos isn't a Brazilian-Spanish footballer because he has two passports? Poulsen 14:08, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He is a Swiss Italian though; it doesn't mean he holds a passport from Italy. It is typical in Switzerland to make a description as Swiss French, Swiss German, etc. for the four language groups. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.45.72.26 (talk) 21:29, July 10, 2007

But in what sense is he a "Swiss Italian"? I agree his surname sounds Italian, but he was born in a German-speaking area, and his website is in German. Has he ever described himself as "Swiss Italian"?David Peacham 17:34, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, thanks for your contribution to this article. This does need citation as it's a bit dubious. Also, don't forget to sign you talk page contributions by typing four tildes (~~~~). Regards, Severo^TC 21:35, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As far as Cancellara sounding Italian, it's a region in Italy, so it's an Italian name. His parents also came from Italy to Swiss. Just saying.

Profile Picture

Perhaps his photo in the left side profile should be changed to either him in the rainbow jersey or CSC jersey?--Ğavin Ťing 13:49, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Switzerland, Europe??

I do not think there is a need to mention Europe after Switzerland (see under Early Years, first sentence). Name of the country should have been enough.Serialno9 (talk) 16:14, 3 August 2009

Controversy

The current wording is not clear enough; it might suggest that either Cassani or italian TV coverage indicated Cancellara using a hidden electric motor in his bike, which is not true at all. ([[User la.margna]) 14:49, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
