Uh Robert, Pirelli is Italian.

History
In 1872 , the twenty-four year old engineer Giovanni Battista Pirelli
founded Pirelli & C. in Milan, establishing the first factory for the
manufacture of rubber goods. By the end of the century he had begun to
diversify into the production of insulated wires for telegraphy (1879)
and undersea telegraph cables (1886), and had launched the first
pneumatic bicycle tyre (1890). Pirelli's first pneumatic car tyre
appeared in 1901
