Hallo Matteo, and the others,

MB> "In the very early days of Bianchi the color "Celeste" was sky blue (the MB> word celeste meaning sky in Italian)"

i once read that bianchis were sky blue once and only changed to "celeste" during a war (WW1?) when Bianchi ran out of sky blue colour and the mint green was the only colour available at larger amounts? anybody ever saw a Bianchi in the "original" blue?
