Anybody that insists on using Italian threads should really just stick with period specific hardware or be prepared to pony up the dough for custom made stuff if they want their bike to interface with modern equipment.
Italian manufacturers:

Abici
ALAN
Atala (company)
Bianchi (company)
Borile
Bottecchia
Emilio Bozzi
Moser Cicli
Cinelli
Colnago
De Rosa (bicycle company)
Di Blasi Industriale
Frera
Guerciotti
Iride Bicycles
Italvega
Kuota
Masi Bicycles
Dario Pegoretti
Pinarello
Pogliaghi
Prinetti & Stucchi
Somec
Stelbel
Tomasso
Tomasini
Wilier Triestina

You are aware that many of these companies still make steel bikes aren't you?
