AMF Gloria, racing bicycle 1932, <\/strong>Italy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Established in 1922 by Alfredo Focesi in Milan, the company immediately aims to build racing bicycles.
\nIn\u00a01923 Libero Ferrario<\/strong>, on a Gloria bicycle, won the World Championship for amateurs. From that moment on Gloria became famous. Well-known were the \u201cGaribaldini\u201d, Gloria cyclists, that wreaked havoc in the stage races for their impetuousness.<\/p>\n

AMF Gloria Milano\u00a0<\/strong>marca depositata: this is the lettering that can be found on the metal plaque fixed on the handlebar stem of every AMF bicycle.<\/p>\n

AMF is the acronym of the words\u00a0A Alfredo \u2013 M Milano \u2013 F Focesi.<\/strong>
\nWhile GLORIA clearly indicates the years when the company was founded: the 20s (1922 to be precise). The echo of the so-called victory of the Great War relives in words frequent at the time: Glory, Victory, Audacious, etc..<\/p>\n
