Its was made in Italy by Graziella, im guessing in the 1960's. This particular brand was a big seller in Italy in the 1960s-1970s. This company made a lot of folding bikes. This one has what looks to be a baby seat welded onto the back.

Though not a “race” bike, the handling is still very precise and predictable- a Masi hallmark.
