Atala bicycles were founded in 1908 by Guido Gatti, only a year before the first ever Giro d'Italia. The brand were direct rivals with Bianchi, who wanted to begin an Italian equivalent to the Tour de France in collaboration with the newspaper Corriere dell Sera. Gatti, however, found out and brought the story to the pink pages of La Gazetta dello Sport who undercut Corriere dell Sera and begun the story of the Giro d'Italia themselves.
Atala, therefore, were a key part of Italian cycling history. Gatti and Rizzato's brand sponsored teams from as early as 1910 to the late 80s, winning 36 Giro d'Italia stages between 1948 and 1987 and taking a series of track World Championships with the Swiss rider, Urs Freuler.
A period of crisis followed the late 80s as labour costs in Italy rose. The brand was sold to the Rizzi family in 2002 to form a new Atala franchise, but before long they too had to sell the Atala name to the Accell group, who continue to produce leisure bicycles with the Atala logo to this day.
Tommasini is an Italian company founded by Irio Tommasini in 1957. He was a master craftsman with a long-standing experience as cyclist too. Tommasini bikes belong the well-known Italian heritage, a mixture of craftsmanship skills and deep passion about cycling. Therefore Tommasini bikes are esteemed both in Italy and worldwide, nowadays as in the past. The most famous Tommasini classic bicycles are Super Prestige (Columbus SL tubings and Campagnolo C-Record group set) and Prestige (Columbus SL and Campagnolo Super Record group set). Tommasini classic and vintage bicycles remain very rare and because of this are highly evaluated.
