The placard accompanying this car in the Museo Nazionale della Scienza y della Tecnologia Leonardo Da Vinci informs us:

"Nel 1901 Edoardo Bianchi progetta questa elegante autmobile. La carrozzeria e modellata su legni pregiati e fogli de alluminio che poggiano su un robusto telaio composto da una struttura rettangolare in tubo di acciaio. Un secondo telaio,
all'interno del primo, permetteva in casa d'urto di salvaguardare le parti meccaniche, il motore e il gruppo del cambio. Il veicolo era dotato di freno a mano per le ruote posteriori e dispositivo antirinculo. L'accensione era a manovella. Quando e stata presentata nel 1903 costava quasi 10,000 lire. Nel prezzo venivano incluse due giorni di scuola guida per i piloti inesperti e una trousse di accessori con chiavi inglese, rotolo di nastro adesivo e pompa d'aria."

which Google badly translates into English as:

"In 1901 Edoardo Bianchi autmobile this elegant designs. The body, modeled on wood and sheets of aluminum resting on a sturdy frame consisting of a rectangular steel tube. A second frame,
inside the first, allowed in the house of impact to protect the mechanical parts, the motor and gearbox assembly. The vehicle was equipped with a hand brake for the rear wheels and recoil device. The ignition was crank. When it was presented in 1903 almost cost 10.000 lire.
