This one has lugs, above BB cable routing, and lugged fork. That would likely put it as Italian origin.
My 100% Japanese Bianchi Limited (1983) had all that, made from very decent Ishiwata 022 tubing. A nice enough bike to keep if I didn't have so many other similar bikes. (And the plain jane paint never really excited me) As it was, I got $225 for it equipped with mediocre wheels in a very slow CL market.
