Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

No, Italian bottom brackets are right-hand threaded for both cups so both sided remove by turning them counterclockwise.

Be sure to install the drive-side (fixed) cup very tightly and to full recommended torque. Otherwise they tend to unthread themselves under pedaling forces. Installed properly, they are fine but do it correctly.
