Zombie thread resurrection . Dossena, was, I think still is based in the Turin area and in the late 1980s early 90s was paining for a lot of Italian makers some large, like Rossin, but also smaller frame builders like Losa and Sancineto. Here’s a picture of my Sancineto with what is a typical Dossena, airbrush/fade design.
