After writing about Columbus, Falck, Oria, and Castello Mario & Figlio of Torino, we move onto one Italian tube set manufactuerer I had not previously heard of: "Tullio" from Padova. I don't have any details other than these photos which show a Tullio decal on a Maino and a page from an Atala catalog showing its use in the Corsa GS model. One source said, "Tullio tubing was an Italian straight-gauge, Hi Tensile tubing used on low to mid range Italian bikes made by Atala, Basso, etc.".
If you have any additional information about "Tullio" please write to the email addess below.

I recently just acquired a Atala Special with the Tullio tubing. The tubing is very ornate for high tensile steel tubing I find it superior to the entry level Vittus steel tubing. The Atala Special I got has Campagnolo Chorus,Modolo,3TTT,Ambrosio wheels,Ofmega Comp crank. I am very please with the overall ride and feel from the Tullio steel tubing.
