    I'm not sure, I haven't priced it, but guess it's worth at least $5K. It's huge - would look awesome in a garage.

    One of these was for sale in Tacoma, Wa. a while back (not from Carlo). VERY nice piece.

    I have a pair of rectangular Lancia signs, each over 10' long, acquired more than 25 years ago from a defunct dealership. Hanging inside my garage.

    Alfredo's Foreign Car in Larchmont NY has the same sign at his shop, he was a Fiat/Alfa/Abarth dealer in the 60's and is currently a Chrysler Dealer and has the New Fiat Franchise. He also has the later Alfa Sign, I recently sold my similar sign at a memorabilia auction. Mine was also around 5' round , two sided center lit.

    Thanks this is the newest logo post 1973, but the sign looks alot newer than that - it's lovely. Was his vintage one illuminated as well? Any pix?

    Alfredo has both versions, the later sign like mine pictured is on the outside of his building One sided lit. His old version sign ( Coiled serpent and Milano) is inside his shop and looks to be in very good condition. My sign was from a local dealers and had been outside for many years, I used automotive polishing compounds and a orbital buffer to achieve the like new condition. It only fetched a couple grand at auction, but I had purchased it well so I was pleased with the result. I have a much smaller sign from england that fits on my garage wall.

    Thanks. BTW - Both of these are newer signs as the 1946-1972 logo had the added MILANO.
