Tiziano Zullo (* 1952 in Stallavena , Grezzana ) runs a bicycle manufacturer in Castelnuovo del Garda in the Italian province of Verona , Veneto region .

Tiziano Zullo started cycling at the age of 14 and was active regionally and nationally for around ten years. In the early 1970s he came into contact with the northern Italian craft, which produced numerous famous frame builders. After he stopped racing and started working as a nurse, he built his first frames in his spare time in 1973 in the basement of his mother's house. Some of these blanks were accepted and widely processed by already well-known manufacturers, but some were also marketed under his own name, Zullo . Various amateur teams from the Verona area were equipped with Zullos frames in the following years. Starting in 1978, Zullo frames were exported to Germany, France, the USA and Australia. The Far Eastern market has become increasingly important for Zullo in recent years.

From 1986 to 1992 Zullo supplied frames for the Dutch team TVM , which was known for professionals such as Phil Anderson , Dmitri Konyshev , Jesper Skibby and Scott Sunderland .

Tiziano Zullo has also been building aluminum frames using the TIG process since 1994 . In 2003 he offered custom-made carbon frames for the first time. Today the main focus of the production of Zullo is on high-quality steel frames made to measure and with individual decors.
