Very likely this rose is Supercandy the rose that in the International Rose Trial of Monza in 1966 was awarded the title of best italian rose. Supercandy was a name strongly linked to Niso Fumagalli, the patron of the event and owner of the Candy appliance company.
PS Supercandy still exists in Roseto San Giovanni, Trieste and definitly differs from Mongioia. You can see its photo in the web site Il Nuovo Cercapiante

Ca Berta, would you know if Mansuino used an American rose named 'Ivory Triumph' in his breeding? I ask because 'Mongioia' looks rather like IT with more petals. I believe that some of von Abrams roses did find their way to Europe.

I am not expert of breeding but I think it unlikely becouse of the too close years of introduction in two very far away part of the world and becouse, as far as I know, Ivory Triumph was not commercially introduced in Italy.
