Chronological list of Italian accordion makers

[Glenn]

Here is an amazing list of Italian accordion makers and their history (and demise).
The link is very interesting.

A good read, and very interesting.

But at least one Italian accordion maker is missing from the list: Fisitalia.

I had thought Cavognolo was French - always learning.
On a wider thought isn't it surprising there are (were?) so few French makers given the importance of the accordion in French popular music?
I can think of Dedenis - long gone and Maugein - relaunched partially I think by the diatonic revival.
"Manufrance" was a brand - but I think they were rebadged cheapies?
Any more?

Domenico Cavagnolo was obviously of Italian origin, but relocated to France in 1923.
