In the current VeloNews (came today) On Perogoretti and a lugged frame he is building:
"Pergoretti is the most famous Italian framebuilder you've never heard of. He dates his life with bikes back to 1975, when, at 18 years old and racing on a Mario Confente frame (yes, an American bike; Dario's always been a maverick), he began his framebuilding apprenticeship with Luigino Milani in Verona..." --Ted Costantino
