Regarding Nemesio Diez Riega. Nemesio Diez Riega was born in Spain in 1909 and came to Mexico in 1923 at the age of 14. He worked in San Miguel de Allende, first taking care of cattle and eventually working in the Fidel Dobarganes Company, selling and buying grains. He soon moved to the city of Toluca and eventually made his big break by becoming involved in the Modelo Group, which grew to become a world-famous brewery, best known for its iconic product, Corona. The soccer stadium in Toluca is named for him.
