French and Italian are idiotic this way. ISO/BSC, whitworth/swiss are all reverse thread on the drive side.
With italian/french, just grease and reef it on. If it's coming loose then you can use some low grade loctite on it.

That sounds more like faulty crank bolt installation, or crank bolt coming loose to me. The only way the BB would be at fault if the cranks fell off is either manufacturing defect or broken axle. More information please?
