The dates indicated neither represent the dates that the company was founded nor the dates a particular company ceased activity. The dates do indicate the period in which these companies dedicated their operations towards the construction of automobiles.
Some of the companies were founded prior to the period indicated and have continued their operations, directing production towards another sector.
O.M., for example, was founded in Milan in the 19th century; from 1937 to 1967, they continued to manufacture trucks under the name O.M.S.A., after which they were acquired by the IVECO Group.
The manufacturer "La Beretta Armi di Gardone V.T.", a company with a century-old tradition on its shoulders, worked for two years alongside its two sister companies in projecting small cars, producing only a few prototypes.
