Fongri, abbreviation of Fontana & Grignani, created in Turin, from the first decade of the 1900 and for about 20 years, motorcycles of some renown (guided, for example, Tazio Nuvolari), and some special projects, among these, the rare prototype Nicolis Museum, which shows a very peculiar design 'functional': Note the wings sheet iron, connected by platforms equipped with tool boxes, and the short sheet metal enclosure in order not to deform with the heat of the engine and the 'fake' radiator with aesthetic function, since the engine was the same cylinder used in Fongri motorcycles, four-stroke, air-cooled cylinders and opposed to the horizontal axis.
