No I wouldn't say that the example that P!n20 posted sure looks like the same model (only in yellow main paint) and has the same graphics so likely this was contracted by and sold as an Atala. What I am doubtful of is that this is a tre-Tubi Aelle frame. I may have missed recent Columbus tubing updates but BITD they did not make Aelle tubing (3 mains or otherwise) to be selected for TiG welding, plus never saw any Aelle that featured a "shaped" and oversized down tube, such as both white and yellow examples have. I think the decal may be a "fake" or just picked cause it was Columbus and "close enough".
