To make it even more complicated:
Ettore was born in Italy.
His first designs were built in Milan.
He moved to Germany to work for Deutz, and later Hermes.
He finally opened a factory in Molsheim, at that time German territory.
After the first world war, Molsheim became French, and this stayed that way.
This for the classical Bugatti's
