ZULLO frame builder Tiziano Zullo is located in Castelnuovo del Garda (Verona) near the shores of Lago di Garda.
In the photos above Zullo is working in his workshop on a frame using TIG welding. He also builds lugged frames, such as the "MaxSilenus" in Columbus MAX steel, some special editions and other models. The MaxSilenus:

The only work that does not take place in his workshop is the chrome-plating of lugs, which customers occasionally request.

My first racing bike was a Zullo. I still have it after all these years and it still looks great. A beautiful hand-crafted frame.
