Fiorelli had an agreement to make Coppi bikes, just as other companies in the era had agreements to produce Loiuson Bobet and Antequil bikes.

It has the nervex lugs fork crown, the eye on the fork was painted but when i carefully removed the paint with my nail the text Coppi appeared.

My question is is this a Fiorelli bike type Coppi, or is it a Coppi bike made by fiorelli, and does anybody has some interesting information about this bike? I'm also looking for the original decal artwork, what was it like?
