On continental Europe it's even "worse". Even among the few who are interested in classic bicycles most doesn't know the Masi brand and those who do would probably not consider it as something more special than De Rosa for example. And nobody has ever heard of or cares about american made Masis and absolutely nobody has never ever heard the name Confente. The Masi-America-Confente Story itself is imho quite interesting, though.

[...] The thing that I find most humorous and interesting is that the Brits and others can't for the life of them see what is so "special" about a Confente or a Masi. [...]
