Savinelli makes Rossi pipes as a secondary brand. The Rossi pipes are pretty much the same as the Savinelli pipes, but may have a fill or two and many of them don't take the Savinelli balsa filters. I have one Rossi pipe and it smokes really nice, and is well made. The Savinelli pipes have better finishes and have more shapes and nicer stems sometimes, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Rossi if it fits your budget better.
I have a Rossi Lucca 8320EX Author. Nice, well made pipe. Black rusticated, with large, 1 inch diameter bowl. Great smoker too:
I have a Rossi Author and use it daily. It smokes very well. It's a heavy little SOB that's not good for clinching......It uses a 6mm filter if you like or comes with the insert.......Well worth it!!
Smoking pipes usually has them; a Rossi 8320 Rubino can go as little as about $55 US. They're pretty good little pipes and as already pointed out, based on the Savinelli line and dimensions.
If you like the shape, you'll like the pipe.
I have four of the Sav 320 and I absolutely love them. I've had a great smoke out of all of them every single time. Even from the very first smoke.
Just purchased the Vittoria version and am looking forward to it with great anticipation. Less than $50 with shipping. This will actually be the first non-Peterson pipe I've bought in about 10 years. :P But my is that chubby author a very attractive shape.
My Rossi Vittoria prince also has a wide chamber, and I find this just right for blends of three or more tobaccos, especially when you get into those blends with five or six. I think you get more variety in the ember at once, and you really get the taste of complex blends as intended. The broad bowl takes a blend from pretty good to downright entertaining.
