snipped: "just to keep a bit of "mystique" about the Masi name."
it's not even that articulated...
these guys, all of them, do not live in the same
world as we all do 40 years on. sure - there might
be records or memories of some of this stuff, but
i'd wager that, for the most part, they wouldn't
ever comprehend this interest that "we" have in the
minutiae that's discussed here. this reminds me of
those threads from 3-4 years ago regarding "what does
"...he built the frame mean?". for nearly all these
brands, it was labor, their job. it'd be like asking
if your subaru was from ohio or indiana.
hey - i'm serious!!

Part of me wonders if Alberto wouldn't really like to keep the names/locations of the contract builders unknown, just to keep a bit of "mystique" about the Masi name. And is Alberto really that well versed about the details of the Vigorelli shop prior to the formation of Masi USA? Was the relationship between Faliero and Alberto a good one?
