Established in 1922 by Alfredo Focesi in Milan, the company immediately aims to build racing bicycles.

In 1923 Libero Ferrario, on a Gloria bicycle, won the World Championship for amateurs. From that moment on Gloria became famous. Well-known were the “Garibaldini”, Gloria cyclists, that wreaked havoc in the stage races for their impetuousness.
