ciocc means 'poker face'. it was a term of endearment used as a nickname for young giovanni pelliziolli. the above from my fogged memory of framebuilder minutiae. e-RICHIE (it's cold here; arm warmers today...)
"Takao Noda" <tanoda@d1.dion.ne.jp> writes: I heard the people of Bergamo( Bergamaschi) had a peculiar dialect , so Ciocc had the umlaut on o. Also heard it means an "alcoholic". Mr. Pelizzoli might posiibly be so.
Okay, so what does the name Ciocc mean.
