I can confirm, but you may have gotten that from me in the first place. I got a 60th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee 3V with a Torelli tag hanging on it. Torelli confirmed it was built by Mondonico (along with the Barcelona model) and that Mondonico used Mondonico geometry, not Masi. Milano Sports says that the frame lugs are cheap imitations made in Taiwan, but that doesn't bother me. Mondonico is a good builder too. Still rides great. Lou Deeter, Huntsville AL
