Career

Born in Crema, Lombardy, Quaranta's most successful year was 1999, when he was riding for the Mobilvetta Design–Northwave team; he already had five wins to his credit leading up to the Giro d'Italia. He then won the first stage in a sprint finish, ahead of Mario Cipollini, significantly boosting his profile.

In 2003, Quaranta was hired by Saeco to replace Cipollini as the team's protected sprinter; he won sprints in lesser races such as the Brixia Tour and the Tour of Qatar. Saeco dropped Quaranta after a single season, subsequent to which he had negligible success. His final win was in the 2007 Settimana Ciclistica Lombarda.

Quaranta retired from professional cycling after the 2008 season.
