Italian mystery track frame ID



Unfortunately, this is all that's left of the headbadge. The badge still reads "li" at the end, and there's a small line of text underneath that ends in "e." No other decals. Drilled for a front brake, the rear bridge is pencil thin. Lugged, 70 mm BB shell.

That may not be the original fork. I have a Fiorelli road frame and the fork crown looks different. Does it have Coppi drop-outs at both ends? There is a very nice Fiorelli/Coppi track frame on velospace.org, check it out.
