Regarding my post of earlier about Lygie, Dale asked about
"<< ....Cesare Rizzato...>>
That name sounds familiar. Was he also the owner of other Italian marques?"
Rizzato also purchased, in 1938, the Atala brand. Atala had been founded in Milan in 1907 by a certain Guido Gatti. Gatti then sold the company onwards in 1919 to Enrico Steiner also of Milan, before being ceded to Rizzato.
