Totally agree, the price of Torino is adequate.
My first good bike was Bianchi. I had lived in a town where the shop had Bianchi years before I got that bike. When I decided to get a good bike it had to be Bianchi that I dreamed of years before. I bought C-Sport-1 in 2015 and registered at bikeforums (as can be seen from my name here

).
Some Bianchi bikes are indeed a bit overpriced. I paid $600 for C-Sport in 2015, it had rim brakes and 7 speed (cassette). This year C-Sport SE with similar specs is $550 -- and $550 in today's prices is about $450 in 2015's prices. Also, this year Strada is $830 (compare to Jamis Coda).
If you go to another Bianchi shop, you can try some C-Sports. They are also hybrids, but more performance oriented. You may or may not like them.
