Default Altoparlante 18" info appreciated

Hello all

As the title states, I am seeking any info that you can offer regarding an 18" Altoparlante "Hi Fi" that I just obtained.

I have no info at all, and most of what I find online is in Italian, which might as well be Greek to me.

I know my request is vague, so thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Alto means "loud" and parlante means "speaker".
1 inch is 2,5 centimeters.
As pianoforte means "slow" and "fast", Hi-fi means that some fabrication procedures has been taken to guarantee a good quality in sound reproduction,when excited by an electric signal.
If the object you own is round , doesn't present visible signs of time or damages , has electrical continuity and when softly pressed doesn't scratch or something, then you can say that you have a very big woofer!
BTW We call them woofer,tweeter and midrange in Italy.

Well , if you don't tell us where are U going , nobody can't tell you how the place you're going will be . How can I (and everyone ) predict the brand , the model ,if no one but you the owner ?For that size , it could be a good old RCF, like an L18/651.
Ciao
