BELLA CIAO. The Fine Art of Italian Framebuilding.
Engineered in Germany.

BELLA CIAO bicycle frames are handcrafted by our frame manufacturer in Northern Italy. Frames are powder coated in Germany. Many parts are produced in Germany exclusively for us. Each BELLA CIAO bicycle is being individually and meticulously assembled by a one of our master craftsmen in Germany.

Our Italian frame manufacturer is a traditional family business where 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”.
