'''G.P.M. (Guiseppe Pozzoli Milano)''' is known for just one camera, the '''Fotonesa''', made around the end of the Second World War. It is a subminiature viewfinder camera making 20mm-square pictures. It has a Frontal Periscop 31mm f/8.8 lens and I&B shutter. The body of the camera is made from [[Bakelite]], with metal control parts. It has a galilean viewfinder on the top. It is very similar to the [[Sida|metal-bodied Sida and bakelite Sida Extra]] made by Sida in Germany, and the bakelite [[Sidax]] made in Paris by Kafta, except that these all make 25mm pictures. The Fotonesa also has a larger, round lens-tube. Notes on the camera at submin.com state that it was sold in several colours<ref>[http://www.submin.com/large/collection/fotonesa/index.htm Fotonesa] at [http://www.submin.com/ submin.com]</ref> At least some examples of the camera have 'NESA' embossed as a logo on the back; perhaps because the camera is a ''Mila''nesa. One of the examples seen at Westlicht has a soft case, also impressed 'NESA'.

'''G.P.M.''' also produced or marketed the [[bakelite]] version of the German [[Sida]] camera for Italy, holding the official ''brevetto Italiano 325655'' (Italian patent)<ref>Patent as can be seen on the back side of [https://assets.catawiki.com/image/pr:cw_large/plain/assets/catawiki/assets/2019/3/13/7/9/5/7955c08c-efbb-4ad7-ba49-d21850a1cc3a.jpg a Sida sold on the Catawiki] </ref>.
