I have been on the Intergastra fair in Stuttgart, where Maltoni showed some machines of his extensive collection. Maybe it could be interesting for some of you so I decided to write a brief report. Out of consideration for our English-speaking espresso nerds I write this report in English. I hope that is fine for all of you.
I haven't counted them but I think there where around 30 machines on the booth. The oldest from the beginning of the 20th century (the vertical machines operated with boiler pressure). Then there where a lot machines of the golden espresso decade (1950 - 1970) as well as some youngtimer.
I won't describe all the machines but a few which can't be seen often.
The next picture shows a Gaggia Internazionale with one group (1954):
Then there was the famous La San Marco Lollobrigida (1955):
A La Cimbali Rubino (second generation from 1956):
An ultra rare La Pavoni Concorso (1956). Interesting is the modular construction that allowed to create machines in different sizes using the same elements:
A Faema Urania with a not so typical back (1956):
A Cambi Olimpic (1956) which hit the market during the time of the Winter Olympic Games in Cortina:
La Dorio Kapitän (1957):
A La Dorio Atlas (1960). The logo from the Maltoni Collection is derived from the side view of this machine:
