La Gazzetta dello Sport 1952 nameplate

Hi all - can anyone suggest a close match to the attached masthead. Looks like it was hand drawn but I'm sure I've seeing something similar. Thanks

If I'm not mistaken the date on the newspaper looks like 1952. That makes metal, or maybe film, the only alternative to hand-drawn. It also makes finding it pretty hard, because Italian type is not well documented in most font books I have access to.
