It's interesting how the clear film on the Piaggio and Made In Italy decals has discoloured, while there is no discolouration on the Bianchi logo decals. To me, this suggests the discoloured decals are OEM, while the logo decals are not. Regardless, the presence of a Piaggio decal would indicate no newer than a 1984 model. The manufacturing date will be a two character alpha-numeric stamped on the drive side on the seat lug.

Consequently, my previous assessment still stands. If you want to increase your confidence level that it is an Alloro or equivalent frame, you need to determine that it is Columbus Tretubi SL. This would be indicated by the use of a 27.2mm seat post and a non-Columbus steerer tube on the fork.
