Engineer Salvatore Mallorca in Turin had made a name for himself in the construction of landing gear for aeroplanes. Ironically, his most important idea of a wheel with internal springing through integrated rubber elements will realized on this motorbike instead. For the realization of the aerodynamic bodywork and the engine he could lean to the Fiat Aviation department. The project aroused the interest of Pirelli, which presented the prototype at the Milan Spring Fair in 1948. Mass production, however, never began.
 
Even the public rushed into the gardens of Villa Erba could express their preference among the motorcycles in competition. The award (the Villa Erba Trophy, awarded for public Referendum) went to the sidecar Brough Superior SS80, produced in Nottingham, England, in 1939 and presented in competition by the Swiss Daniel Kessler.
 
Also noteworthy is the honorable mention given by the jury to the Indian Twin-cylinder, a V double cylinder of 1907 owned by Frank Grahl (Germany).
 
In the afternoon of today will be delivered the trophy BMW Italy and the competition of Elegance Design Award for Concept Cars and prototypes (the two awards awarded for public Referendum at Villa Erba), while we must wait for the late evening to know the car that will be Awarded with the trophy BMW Group (the first prize awarded by the jury, Best of Show of the competition of elegance).
