Bonnie & Clide

Bonnie & Clide — the spelling is Pasini’s own — is a 1970 single-player Electromechanical table named for Bonnie and Clyde, the Depression-era American outlaws. It came out of the same Bologna shop as Pasini’s Western Old Gold, whose surviving backglass still carries the Pasini name and is signed “Lore 70.”^[1] That glass is held by Federico Croci, the Bologna collector who went on to found the city’s Spazio Tilt pinball museum,^[2] a line of preservation that keeps these early Bologna machines in view.
