Emilio Bozzi

Emilio Bozzi

Emilio Bozzi was an Italian businessman, known for his bicycle manufacturing company.

He established the Emilio Bozzi & Co. bicycle manufacturer in Milano (1908), the first model being the "Aurora". [ [http://www.classicrendezvous.com/Italy/Legnano/Legnano_history.htm The Legnano legend] ] Also, he had the rights to the turinese Frejus bicycle brand. With the son of Franco Tosi, who had some patents from the English Wolsit brand, his company made the "Ciclomotore Wolsit" (1910-14), the rights to which was sold to NSU Motorenwerke AG (1932).

They renamed the company Legnano using a swordlifting warrior (Alberto di Giussano) symbol painted by the cycler Alfredo Binda, based on the Battle of Legnano. It had immediate success with cyclists as Eberardo Pavesi (being the manager), Alfredo Binda (1922), Gino Bartali (1936), Fausto Coppi (1939) and Ercole Baldini (1956) in the Giro d'Italia and other races up until 1965. The company also made mopeds (1954-68), while the bicycle business was acquired by the main rival Bianchi (bicycle manufacturer).
