Chronology of cameras Fiamma
The Fiamma (Fabbrica Italiana Macchine Apparecchi Materiali Accessori) appeared during the 20s. Its first name was "FATA". During Mussolini years, the brand uses protectionism and patriotic arguments to develop. It keeps prices low, and a high workmanship quality. Probably in the late 30s, it is absorbed by Ferrania. (Source Made in Italy from Marco Antonetto)
The Fiammetta is nicely made, but I wonder if, as the base, it would not be a Eho box. This seems credible considering that the political rapprochement between the two countries was great during the 30s.
