History of the Lygie brand:
The Lygie marque was founded by Alfredo Sironi in Milan around 1905. These early bikes were built with French components, which at the time were considered to be among the best available. After just a few years in business however, in 1908, Alfredo sold Lygie to Ernesto Rolando from Pavia (just outside of Milan), where he produced bicycles until 1932. There appear to be very few surviving examples of Lygie bikes from this period which begs the question of just how successful Lygie had been under the guidance of Ernesto. Then in 1932, he sold the marque to Cesare Rizzato of Padova. Rizzato had considerably more success over the years and also manufactured other marques such Atala. The end for Lygie came in the mid-1970’s with the end of the bike boom
