Ciöcc US question and restore update

Loving the recent Ciöcc activity. For my restore, I asked Giovanni if we could redo the period-correct graphics as seen in this photo. Still waiting to see if they've found originals to reproduce. I hadn't seen this graphic style until recently. I'm wondering the following... When did Ciöcc first start to appear in the US, and did this graphic style ever come over in large numbers?

PS - big thanks to unworthy1 for the NR parts! Also, since being on C&V, I've found two new must-haves... Martano and Legnano (I love 'dead' Italian brands, even if Bianchi is still trying with low-end Legnanos).

I'm glad to say that I made a sweet deal with a local shop for a NR bb and brake levers, along with three wheels for this bike (one set to show, one to ride). One is a '71 Record front laced to... a Martano! Now to find a matching rear.
