Basso Loto question
While looking through the internet recently I found a picture of a Basso Loto. There is a decal on the top tube and the bottom tube that I'm curious what it is. It looks like a "B" and something else. Can anyone tell me or better yet have a clear picture of it. The closest I have found so far is the reference of Basso Fior di Loto.

Not sure and never seen before but here's a pic of the top tube decal on my '89. Maybe you'll be able to see a relation between the two (I can't really).

Foir di Loto (Lotus Flower) is the full model name. The subject lettering is the standard desgn from the early 1990s. I've seen it in perhaps a half dozen different colour combinations. but don't know its meaning.
