Subject: [CR]Two questions regarding Masi and Italian builder reference info

HI all, got two questions, unrelated to each other, but in an effort to reduce posts, I'll pose both here. First, seems every third thing I read about Masi Cal refers to someone else working there who went on to be, or was already, highly regarded in the bike building, painting or otherwise community. Does anyone have a comprehensive list of employees who were spawned by or helped spawn the Masi legend here in the states? Secondly, I've got this frame, a Guarini, that I am trying to research. I've queried the list to no avail, but wondering if anyone here knows of a reference list/website of Italian marques that I may try. Google just gets me all I need to know about American Idol winner Justin Guarini. No disrespect to the talented Mr. Guarini, I'm sure, but that's no good to me. As always, help's appreciated and gratitude extended.
