In 1918, engineer Alfredo Gallanzi bought a license and parts of a model produced in Turin by Antonio Chi-ribiri. The firstborn “10 HP” Gallanzi came up with the name “ARDITA”. It was a 4-cylinder engine with a crankshaft on ball bearings, which was then rare. At the same time, the release of a lighter model “8 HP” with an engine capacity of 1108 cm3 was planned. But it did not go further.
