Note to Gary Crocker: I'm an Olmo fan too, Gary (right now the only Olmo in my stable is one of their tandems), but I'm not familiar with the "Firenze" model. Since the main Olmo factory is in Celle Liguria ("Ligurian prison", *i.e.*, where the Roman prison was located), I guess they chose Florence for the model name because naming a model after their home town wouldn't have gone over too well. Would *you* buy a "*Prison*" model Olmo?
