At the time, (2016) ’Holmeswood’, were the UK distributors for this model.
Built in Italy, they were good solid dependable vehicles that for some reason didn’t click in the UK.
My wife and I had a holiday in Italy where our transport was another of its kind.
Comfortable and powerful, it never missed a beat all week.
I think that this is only the third or fourth I have seen in the UK.

I suspect that the Tourismo is probably the most popular coach purchased at the moment.
