I bought this bike in the states but I'm pretty sure it was made in Italy since the parts all say made in italy. GrayJay, it doesn't look like the pics. It has brazed on holders for the brake cables and the shifters on the down tube don't have the chrome ring that connects them. The stamp on the seat post says E3 on one side and 013 on the other. The lady said she looked it up and it was an 83 bianchi. There are also blue "B"s with circles around them engraved near the seat stays and blue B's engraved on the fork crown.
