>From reading CICLISMO magazine this month I have learned there is another ROMEO brand (in additon to the one in Rome mentioned in the past). The article mentions that CICLI ROMEO was started by Romeo Franzetti in 1935 in the province of Varese. The business continues today under the management o f his son Diego Franzetti. Shown is is 1960 photograph with a racing frame labeled ROMEO, and modern bikes labeled ROMEO.
   A photo of a 1986 bike shows a logo in the shape of a shield with ROMEO in red letters on a yellow background over a spoked wheel.
