Frejus (alternatively written Freyus) was founded in 1896 in Torino by Emmo Ghelfi and still run by him in 1946. The brand was later acquired by Emilio Bozzi and co-produced in Milan with his Legnano and Woolsit brands. His business card  In the mid 1970s, Mr. Bozzi was kidnapped & assassinated by the Red Brigade (Brigate Rosse or BR)terrorist group. The company was then dissolved, his family having lost heart to continue the enterprise. By the early 1980s, the brand license was obtained by Bianchi and in 1988 a new usage of Legnano took place in a Bianchi financed team, starring Maurizio Fondriest.
