I'd guess that since this is Ugo's "Classic 1953" then these graphics on the downtube were what he used in 1953, so yes they were built under his name back then.

But then again the headbadge on this bike, the heart with the diamond shaped worlds bands underneath from the early 1980s(?), isn't the old badge shown on his other replicas.
