"A. Gallo" Italian frame?
Anyone ever heard of this frame maker?
https://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/bik/2048451805.html
Maybe they're the company that makes "Red Bicyclette" wine?

Yeah, if you google "A. Gallo" and "bicycle," you get a lot of hits for Red Bicyclette--which is made by Gallo--but none for any framebuilder.

interesting combo of bits: the arched brake bridge is very much more a "Brit" than "Ital" touch...long Campy DOs with eyelets, top of BB cabling, but one set of WB and shifter bosses...nice flat forkcrown with tangs. I'd like to see a few more details, but seems like a nice one for a Bill, especially if you wanted to paint it your very own special color. A gallo is a rooster in Italian, but also in Spanish.
edit: only mention in CR archives is this:
Arturo Gallo (Pistoia, Italy) in Tuscany, north of Florence.
