I asked a friend who knows ANYTHING about old machines about it, he mailed me the following (unfortunately he is not European, he would be a great member with his knowledge):
...There is a marque called Fiorenzato. Is this what you meant? I have not run across the name ducole. One espresso machine model the firm manufactures is called the Ducale. The T80 is Fiorenzato's standard grinder-doser. The /A would refer to the automatic version. They have long manufactured several models of grinders and are a well-known name within the trade. Begining about 1997 they started making espresso machines as well. Some are of staggering ugliness.
The web site for the espresso machines is at: http://www.fiorenzatocs.com/
They also have a pageholder website at: http://www.fiorenzato.it/
Thanks Roger!
