I think Capriolos were imported, I've come across a few. Fun cam system.

I had one, but have not seen one with the early BMW-esque perimeter frame.  That's pretty cool.  It's also on eBay right now https://www.ebay.com/itm/1957-Other-Makes-Capriolo/132890440538?hash=item1ef0e3335a:g:fcEAAOSwfTlcFoi~

This is the early style from Aero Caproni. They made planes in WW I & II, then motorcycle after the war. In '58ish they renamed Aeromere and realed the more modern style pressed steel framed bikes. I have a Capriolo 75 from Aeromere, imported by Cosmopolitan Motors. Apparently Jim Dillard ran a museum in the Colorado area. This must have been from his collection.

Yup, Jim bought mine.  But it wasn't that one or quite that nice.
