    Malaguti??? Scooters, but I saw this in Italy...




    also

    Fabio Taglioni used the cavallino rampante on his Ducati motorbikes, as Taglioni was born at Lugo di Romagna like Baracca, and his father too was a military pilot during WWI (even if not part of Baracca's squadron, as is mistakenly reported). As Ferrari's fame grew, Ducati abandoned the horse- perhaps the result of a private agreement between the two companies. According to the tour guides at Ducati the 'Horse Logo' was a gift from Ducati to Ferrari...

    yeah, Laverda was purchased by the Piaggio group - who hasn't done anything with the name. They own a bunch of old names like Bianchi
