A Brief History of the Marque
Manufactured: 1945-1955
Societè Italiana Applicazioni Tecniche Automobilistiche of Torino built a 48cc motorcycle with overhead valves called Cucciolo, which had great success since 1947 and was also produced by Ducati.
From 1952 they produced a series of complete mopeds with Cucciolo engines and a 160cc four-speed two-stroke model named the Dinghy. The engine for the Dinghy was built by SIATA. There may also have been a 100cc machine.
In later years the company produced sports cars with bodies by the likes of Bertone which today are highly collectible.
