Someone will certainly know if I'm mistaken, but I think D'Allesandro and Vittoria were both produced by the same parent company, Atalanta Gomma. There were many paralell models in their ranges, and many looked very similar. My first set of tubulars, circa 1973, were D'Allesandro Giro D'Italias, a 268-280 gm handmade cotton. I used a pair of orange tread Criteriums during high school, and Imperforable Setas were very popular (though they didn't necessarily live up to their name). Fondly remembered!
