Designed in the late 1930s, the Saturno went into production in 1946 and was a success for the company.  Very similar to the [[BSA B32|BSA Gold Star]] in that it was available in turismo, sport or competition form, and the list of special equipment was impressive.  Gilera even made available a motorcross version that was successful in national events

The sensation of the 1953 Milan show, the 300 twin was a virtually doubled-up version of the well developed 150cc single.  Although lacking in power the B300 was exceptionally smooth, easy to start and very flexible.  This was a luxury tourer from a company that mainly produced inexpensive lightweights that sold in the US under the [[Sears|Sears and Roebuck]] label.
