POZZI frame
Does anyone have any information please, on an Italian POZZI frame, manufactured in the [approximate] 1950's - 1970's era, by C Pozzi in Montesiro or Casatenovo, northern Italy, north of Milan.
thank you

Aside from the current day shop of Alessandro Pozzi in Monguzzo, the only other Italian shop I know of was that of Otello Pozzi, based in Casalecchio di Reno near Bologna. The head badges showed the first initial and the last name (O. Pozzi):

Pozzi was also Claudio Corti's sponsor when he was in the World Champion jersey. Can't recall what they made or did but story was that they were a big supporter back in the day and that this bike was on display in their entry for many years. Frame was a Ciöcc. Seems to be a fairly common name in northern Italy. Just thought it was interesting...

rhanks for all the info. I have bought the frame but not received it. The decal on the down-tube is almost identical to that of the 1950's U. de Rosa ! Just the lettering is different of course but the "square" type-face is the same, so was there any tie-up with de Rosa or did the decals come from the same source - odd because Rossin got into big trouble over similar decal design. All rather strange ! Pozzi in Montesiro is not far from de Rosa in Milan.
