certainly all color TV set zenith which were sold on the Italian market were assembled in Florence by the company elettronica M. Montagni. boxes arrived with all the components and assemble them to Montagni workers , I remember seeing in years 70 to 80 boxes packed full of components now abandoned stock, but with the flood of the river mugnone went all lost. Curiosity .... many of the workers who worked in assembling the Zenith color TV now working as technicians television in some Italian TV. in attach pic of mr Montagni, tv color Zenith in Montagni office, (1978) and Montagni building
