BELLA CIAO. 
Finest Italian bicycle culture.
Engineered in Germany

BELLA CIAO is Italy in her purest, in her most tempting form. With three different product ranges – CORVO CITTA, SENZA and INGEGNERE – we explore the essence of pedal-powered urban mobility. What we produce is contemporary bicycle culture with both a heritage and an attitude.
BELLA CIAO bicycles are just what a bike ought to be: elegant, lightweight and versatile. Fit for everyday use, classic and unassuming, yet with an unmistakable sports DNA. An uncompromised bike with no frills. Available from spring 2010 onwards.

In best tradition of Italian bicycle manufacturing BELLA CIAO cycles are reduced to pure elegance and performance. They reflect the quintessence of our experience of living, working and cycling in northern Italy for many years.

BELLA CIAO frames are handcrafted by our frame manufacturer in northern Italy. In this traditional family business the fine art of frame building ist still being passed on generation to generation. To perfect the typical look and feel of classical Italian bicycles – and to improve the performance in northern climate – we allowed for some German and Japanese components where we feel tempted. Japan like no other culture shows unbelievable dedication and attention to detail when it comes to manufacturing small parts. And German perfectionism is quite unbeatable when it comes to bringing everything into a perfectly reliable harmony. That is also why the powder coating of BELLA CIAO frames is done in Germany – to proudly stand the worst of northern weather – and that is why we assemble our bicycles individually in Germany too.

The result is bicycles that are in a very natural and unassuming way quite spectacular. The elegance of a classic vintage bicycle meets contemporary engineering of highest quality.

The result is a perfectly achieved, truly modern minimalism. A minimalism that echoes the historic origins of BELLA CIAO. – “The Poetry of Freedom”. – “La Poesia della Libertà”.

BELLA CIAO. A bicycle like no other.
