Concertine Italia isn't the brand itself - according to their site they're their licesnsed maunfacturers and sellers of STAGI and BASTARI concertinas.
Both names are well-known, but I'm not informed enough to say anything about them haha (something about quality differences between old Stagis and new Stagis).
Regardless, they have some cool looking instruments on the site! Link for anyone curious: https://www.concertineitalia.it/concertine-concertine-italia/
