Pirelli Tyres - Who makes them?

Just bought a set of P Zero Velo clinchers and I was surprised to see that it says "Made in France" on them! So who actually makes these tyres? Michelin? Hutchison?
I've got a pair of P Zero Velo tubs on my race bike and I'm pretty sure that those are made by Vittoria; mainly because they have the same 320tpi thread count and latex inner tube as Vittoria Corsas and there's really no discernible difference in the way those two tyres ride.

But the clinchers... Pirellis... made in France??? Who'd of thunk it?

Then I think I'll just buy Hutchinson. I don't like branding games. On second thoughts, I'll continue to use Michelin Pro Race.
