Landi Motorcycles

A Brief History of the Marque

Manufactured by Landi & C, Via dei Mille, 32, Torino. 1923-1926

Lamberto Landi produced a motorcycle named The Sweet (la Dolce) powered by a Train engine.

A 1925 advertisement reads:

    "....la piü antica Ditta che monta il motore TRAIN in tutti i suoi tipi
    Cercansi Agenti Regionali per le zone ancora libere
    LANDI & C. - Via dei Mille, 32 - TORINO"

    (...the oldest company using the TRAIN engine in all its types
    Cercansi Regional Agents for the still-free areas)

The company may have been originally named Fabbrica Bicyclette & Motore Landi, and may have built their own engines.
