One of the giants in Italian frame building, Bianchi built (and still builds) bicycles ranging from top end racing machines down to commuter and city bikes. Bianchi's trademark color, Celeste, is nearly instantly recognizable by cyclists the world round. There are many stories about how the color came about, and the hue has changed some over the years.
