I had a Ciocc Aelle bike. 1984 San Cristobal with Triomphe gruppo. Nice entry level racer, a little too fast in the steering for me - hard to ride no hands... not that I ever needed to use my victory salute.
This is the best photo I have of it. Headtube cracked in a crash, I kept the downtube for a souvenier.
