any ideas on what the "Cesare Rizzato" "R" decal is all about? The bike shop, maybe?
Cesare Rizzato bought the Atala brand/company in the late 1930s. Not quite sure if Rizzato is the parent company and Atala exists as it's own company or Atala is only a brand produced by the Rizzato factory. Having the company bear the founder's name was fairly common is Italy, with other noteable examples being the (Teodoro) Carnielli company which manufactured the Bottechia brand and the Emilio Bozzi company which manufactured the Legnano brand.
