Villa
Manufactured by Amleto Villa of Strada Maggiore 10, Bologna, c.1953 to c.1959.
Established before 1928, Amleto Villa built and sold bicycles, accessories and spare parts. The young Marco Cimatti won a Gold Medal on a Villa bicycle at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1932. After the war, Villa built mopeds; at least one type in 1953 and two others released in 1959. Competition from larger manufacturers made it impossible to compete, and moped construction ceased. Villa continued with his bicycle business.
The marque is unrelated to that of Walter Villa
