Yes, it is. They are both still working at it.
One of the riders that walked in was telling me that there were some 20+ Italian builders that went to a carbon construction course (at Ferrari I believe) and the brother that went was ranked #2 in the class. The Grandis carbon bikes are beautiful. I'm recollecting that the steel bikes I saw this year had some neat touches like internally routed cables and that the frames didn't have any seatpost collars...there was an expansion bolt through the seatpost...looked very clean (but a hassle to adjust).

I believe that the Grandis operation is now in the hands of Silvino's sons.
