Subject: [CR]Italian Frame Maker

Looking for information on a small, Italian frame shop that produced from approx early 70s tgrough mid 80s. The only info I now have is a name (?) "PIAZZA, Milano, Italy" which is only semi-solid as based on the recollection of a Swiss bike shop manager now in his 80s who said his shop and others bought frames from them at approx this time. His recollection was also that the company was small (3-4 employees). The one example I saw of their work shows very nice attention to lug work and detail, tubing (no stickers on this 83 era frame appears to be SL or SLK.

Any info would be appreciated.
