Ernesto himself calls it a "flower" or a "clover" ... you gonna contradict the man?

Phil, Should be, I agree. But this is clearly a spade and not a clover. Let's call a spade a spade.
Any other Italian use the spade. Paletti?

A minor pet-peeve. People call the Colnago club a clover. It's not a clover, it's a club. As in the club card-suit.
There, I feel much better now.
Pogliaghi: diamonds; Colnago: clubs; De Rosa: hearts; Confente: spades...although, I've wondered too if some other italian frame maker started using spades first, as an exclusive mark. Or was it just lying around for Confente to use?
