I have a ALAN Super Record road bike that is labelled as a Rivera. Probably a shop house brand. Never seen another bike with the same name though. It is a ~'79 judging from the componentry on it.

If you look at photos of the Giro and perhaps other grand tours in the mid 1970s, you can see a lot of teams riding ALAN frames branded by their sponsor, perhaps more so for mountain stages. Torpado Magniflex had them as well as Guerciotti road and cyclocross bikes, of course. I had one come through here labeled Ciscato, which I had never heard of, nor seen since. There surely are others, but I don't know them off-hand.
