A Brief History of the Marque
Manufactured in Bologna 1957-1962.
Palmieri & Gulinelli was founded in the early 1950s to produce frames, mudguards and tanks for mopeds. Their address was Via Battindarno 226, Bologna.
They presented the Guizzo 50 at the 1957 Milan Motor Show, where it gained positive feedback. Powered by a 49cc two-stroke from FBM Minarelli with whom they had a close relationship (they were next door, at 224), the first thousand machines were built and marketed from the spring of 1958. The 50 was was soon joined by a 150cc model.
The Guizzo scooter, among the most interesting in Italy at the time, was remodelled in 1959 and the moped was updated the following year.
In 1959 the company offices moved to San Lazzaro di Savena. By 1961 the Guizzo was exported to markets in Northern Europe and South America, where it was marketed by Lujan in Argentina.
In 1961 the scooter was fitted with a four-speed gearbox and had further bodywork refinement.
A third version of the scooter was presented in 1962, now with a Moto Morini engine. These were difficult times for motorcycle producers, with the advent of small, cheap cars, and motorcycle production ceased in 1965 in favour of spare parts.
