Libero Liberati

Libero Liberati (20 September 1926 – 5 March 1962) was an Italian former professional motorcycle road racer.

Liberati scored his first points in the World Championship in 1953, and his first race victory came in 1956 in the 350cc class.

Two years later Moto Morini gave him the opportunity to race again, this time in the 250cc class.

On 5 March 1962, Liberati died from an accident, after he slipped on the wet road, violently hitting his head, during a training session on the Strada statale 209 Valnerina [it].
