My 8 year old wanted to restore an old bike and we found one but would like to get info on it. It's a Maino (made in Italy) 20" bike with a 5 speed stick shift, with rams horn handle bars. Has anyone ever heard of one.

Pictures would certainly help with the ID. I suspect it was a bike to jump on the chopper craze of the period, following in the footsteps of the Schwinns.

Other than that, I can be of little help. Good luck with your information quest.
