Celeste is the name of that beautiful Bianchi’s color! From wikipedia:
“…contradictory myths say Celeste is the colour of the Milan sky, the eye colour of a former queen of Italy for whom Edoardo Bianchi made a bicycle (the crowned eagle of the company logo is an adaptation of the former royal crest) and that it was a mixture of surplus military paint. The shade has changed over the years, sometimes more blue, then more green.”
THERE WAS AN 82 MIYATA PRO ACROSS THE STREET TOO!

Celeste was actually Ed Bianchi’s favorite mistress from Turin. It’s well documented in Giovanni Pasquale’s ‘Giro Profundo’ book.
the bike locked to the parking meter is blue, not aqua. also, it is native. it’s by rivendell out of walnut creek.
