Gian Roberts derailleurs and shifters were horrible. The only thing that Gian Roberts ever made that was worth a damn was their chain pliers! They were the industry standard.
G. Caimi (note spelling) freewheels were on par with Regina and I'm sure the company goes back to the early part of the last century like I think Regina does. Caimi also went under the more familiar name Everest in its later years.
All the Balilla brakes I have seen have had script logos. That would include the Corsa 59 (side pull circa 1959) and Corsa 61 (center pull circa 61).
