Dino Terragni (Paderno Dugnano, September 10, 1928 - Geneva, July 10, 1979) was an Italian entrepreneur and inventor. In 1953 he founded one of the biggest conglomerate in the world plastic sector along with Marco Terragni and Felice Zosi Covema.[1]
Early life
He was born in 1927 in Paderno Dugnano. His parents were Ercole Terragni (born in Paderno Dugnano in 1889 and died in 1966) and Enrichetta Strada (born in Paderno Dugnano in 1896 and died in 1970).
