Giovanni bike?

Retro Newbie
Hi,
I bought this bike years ago second hand in Hamburg. I've been trying to get some info about it in the web, but it seems to be quite an unknown manufacturer as there is nothing I was able to find out.
It has parts from Ambrosio, Campagniolo Chorus and there is a Shimano 600 sticker attached. Anyone who knows more about this bike and maybe how old it is? PXL_20230621_160210654.webp PXL_20230621_154902753.webp

The one Giovanni brand I know of belongs to Slikker Sport of Alkmaar, Holland. Not sure if the shop still exists.

It used to be a race shop and catered to the local racing crowd. Frames were made elsewhere, but of good quality. Laurens ten Dam started his career on a Giovanni.

This is Piet Slikker, founder of Slikker Sport, in his shop in Alkmaar with my Giovanni. It dates from the late seventies and was made by Martens of Zwevezele, Belgium.

Thank for posting! The typo of the brand name looks different, and I was more expecting an italian manufacturer due to the amount of italian parts (and the name). But maybe you are right, thanks for the hint!
