in Italy since 1974 could receive the broadcasts in color from Switzerland and Koper with dns PAL, by France and the Principality of Monaco in SECAM, and therefore easy to find equipment color system Multistandard. (PAL-SECAM) zenith, as I know, send the individual components in Italy to the Electronics Montagni Florence. Here were reassembled with the circuit suitable for receiving PAL programs. but I, in the Company Montagni (which inter alia provided to spread the TV signals of IST Switzerland Telecapodistria ANTENNE2 and TMC) I have seen some with SECAM system for the control signals ANTENNAS 2 and TMC.
<<Since the'70s the entrepreneur Mauro Montagni decided to put himself against the idea of monopoly, the occasion was for the World Cup played in Mexico, he captando from Mount Secchieta signal A2 from Corsica did other repeat that amplified through an apparatus autocostruito, the city of Florence. On 10 August 1970 could see some Florentine football matches of the World Organization for the first time in color, and for the first time ever not in connection with a broadcaster of State, the same place of Mauro Montagni company was transformed provisionally into a hall to watch the games in color. Only after the heavy defeat in the final 4 to 1 with Brazil the Judiciary intervened against contractor had infringed because a law of 1938 that forbade anyone to make radio without prior authorization from the Minister of Posts. The same Montagni recalls, with much regret, that to see the matches in color at his company were the Mayor of Florence, the Prefect and also the director of RAI Florence. <<Tutti To tifare as amiconi old data; pity that they finished the World Cup I denunciarono>>. A lawsuit that Mauro Montagni lost, but at a distance of more than thirty years can proudly claim to have won and quest'episodio gave way to long and arduous struggle for the spread of private television over the air in Italy.>>
<<In Italy are beginning to receive foreign television signals as: TV ITALIAN SWISS (IST) from the Canton Ticino, TELEMONTECARLO (TMC) from the Principality of Monaco that radiates the first transmission to Italy on 5 August 1974 by the 'Industrial Marcucci who install a repeater on Mount Pizzorne in Lucca, KOPER KOPER TV station upstream Nanos in Yugoslavia and ANTENNAS 2 (A2) from France. The latter, so that the signal was received well throughout the central and northern peninsula, demonstrating the superiority of television system colors French had stipulated by the company INTERSECAM, a costly maintenance contract with the Florentine businessman to Montagni which were provided all the equipment necessary radio frequency. The bridgehead from which captava signal A2 was the upstream Secchieta single point from which "saw" the transmitter French Bastia in Corsica. As a week to week, however, stretches the chain of repeaters installed by private captavano dall'etere signals audio-video foreign broadcasters and ritrasmettevano amplified to the towns.
The business was undoubtedly enormous because this will installavano on the roofs of several houses reception facilities of the Fifth banda (this banda frequency was one that had the largest number of channels available from 21 to 68) and incrementava the sale of television receivers polychrome since these TV stations sent by time, regular programmes in colour, otherwise not explain, for example, spending 200 million (1977) by the manager John Del Piano of the repetition of TV signals SWITZERLAND , KOPER KOPER and TELEMONTECARLO on Mount Guadagnolo at Palestrina near Rome. Note that the spread of signals in the south of Italy had life even more difficult for the clear opposition of the Mafia that inexorably destroyed the positions repeaters than anyone had passed.>>
