Baldi
Manufactured in Viale Guidotti Beyer, Bologna, in the 1950s
A photograph exists of this moped, which is believed to be the product of a Baldi workshop based in Viale Guidotti, outside Porta Sant'Isaia. The frame is of steel tubing with a double cradle and the engine resembles an F.B.M., with unit construction and an integral pedal crank. It is thought to be a prototype, so possibly very few were built..
