Does anyone know any history about this reel? I can't find anything online. Thank you!
don't know anything about the history, but it looks like an old mitchell!
It's an ultra light made by Zangi of Turin, Italy in the mid/late '50s. At the time it was a redesigned body style from their earlier bulkier straight line/arch end body style. It's supposed to weigh 8.11 oz and has a 3.9:1 gear ratio. It was the predecessor to the Ted Williams 310 & later higher speed TW 320 and Mosquito Kid.

Thanks Tom, amazing amount of knowledge! Now I can do some more research.
There was also a Torino, Torino I & Torino II which came out in the mid/late '50s. They were medium size and like the TW 410. Actually, the Torino III came out a little layer in the late 50s/early 60s.
