I remember seeing a large white and red machine with the Bianchi name last year. Was very cool 70's boxy styling, not a lever group though.

The bike manufacturer bianchi has imho nothing to do with that espresso machine brand!

yes, i was looking for information about this machine. edoardo bianchi and milano (on the plate of an identic amchine i saw) seem to refer to the bicicle brand.

from wikipedia
F.I.V. Edoardo Bianchi

Con la crisi delle vendite motociclistiche negli anni sessanta la Bianchi entra in una grave crisi finanziaria, che sfocerà, alla fine del 1964, nella dichiarazione di liquidazione della società. La produzione delle moto passerà alla Bianchi Velo, il ramo ciclistico della Casa di viale Abruzzi, che nel 1967 sarà rilevata dalla Piaggio. Con le rimanenze di magazzino l'attività prosegue sino al 1970.

velo refers to the bianchi motorcycle brand

Here another model of a Bianchi espresso machine I discovered last year in northern Italy, then later sold at eBay.it, should be now there in a huge museum!
