Piaggio was a large Italian company. They bought a lot of smaller companies. They produced mopeds, Vespa and other brands of scooters plus several brands of motorcycles.

They bought Bianchi bicycles in 1980. Piaggio stickers were put on all Bianchi bikes for the next several years - maybe until 1984???

The sticker on your was put on at the factory.

Chiorda was a low priced brand of bikes made in Italy. It looks like they were bought by Bianchi back in the late 70's or early 80's.

Chiorda may or may not be a Bianchi model name.

Information on more expensive bikes is usually easier to find. It's going to be hard to find out much CORRECT information about a 35 year old low priced model.

Your bike looks like it's in very nice condition. Because it's a lower priced model most collectors would not have much interest in it.

The value is in riding and enjoying the bike.
