Pierlucio Tinazzi Biography

Pierlucio Tinazzi is one of the most popular and richest Security Guard who was born on December 27, 1962 in Italy, Italy.

For several years, Tinazzi was also wrongly credited by newspapers with saving between ten and twelve people by ferrying them to safety on his motorcycle before dying in the fire. However, in 2019, a writer researching the story found the full description of the events in French police reports; a motorcycle security guard, Patrick Devouassoux, who survived the fire, did indeed save several people with his motorcycle, and Tinazzi’s and Devouassoux’s actions were apparently intermingled in subsequent press accounts.
