The photographs of that 1940s Ganna, i.e. http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/1940s_Ganna made me wonder if, by the 1940s, was there some sort of relationship between Ganna and Atala?

If I understand correctly, Cicli Ganna was founded in 1910 but the head badge on this 1940s Ganna looks exactly like the heade badgs on my '69 Atala (except that it reads Ganna rather than Atala).

Is that because Atala owned Ganna by the 1940s or is the design of these head badges merely a well known design that expresses quality, like a laurel wreath? Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia (USA)
