Rossin was a well respected Italian maker in the 80's. The Ghibli is woth out a doubt a typcial Hey day Italian bike. I'm not sure what happened to them, but La Bicicletta was selling some closeout frames for a while.

Here is a scan of the Ghibli in a magazine I have, notice they even had a star shaped Columbus tube, sort of like Colnago's Gilco design.

That raised the productivity without changing the quality standards of the hand made production.

Rossin bikes have been used by such champions as De Vlaeminck, Van Poppel, Berzin, Ugrumov, Virenque, Argentin, Kelly, Kuiper and many others.

Handmade frames from Italy.
