He died during the World War I, in which he fought as captain of the Bersaglieri.[1] On 14 and 15 September 1916 the XLVII Bersaglieri battalion of which Forlano was a part of participated in the attack on the enemy positions between Nova Vas and altitude 208 south; reached and exceeded the objective, the XLVII battalion suffered the Austrian counterattack and risking being circumvented, was forced to fall back on the starting line and the 15th itself sent to Vermegliano to rearrange itself. In the action, Captain Luigi Forlano was among the missing on September 14, 1916 [2]

Luigi Forlano had a son, Bruno, who followed in his father's footsteps by playing in Novara, and who, like his father, died in a war, in this case during the Russian campaign in the World War II.

He began playing for Juventus, with which he won the Italian title of 1905 - the first in the history of the Juventus club - scoring 3 goals in 4 appearances during that tournament. With the Turin team he played six championships scoring a total of 4 goals in 17 matches. After two years in the ranks of U.S. Torinese, without taking the field, in 1908 he moved to Milan. He made his debut with the Rossoneri on 17 January 1909 in the 1–3 away league match against the US Milanese; this will be his only match with the Milanese. In the final part of his career he also played with Stresa; the Stresa stadium is named after him.
