Anybody know anything about old Italian road bikes?

I just picked up an old Italian bike for free that had been sitting outside for probably the last few years or so.

The brand is "Officine Meccaniche". It has Campy hubs and shifters, Rigida rims, Weinmann brakes, and Sun Tour Derailleurs. It is in pretty rough shape from sitting outside, has surface rust on the frame and some of the components but isn't actually that far gone.

Is this bike anything special? The frame is too large for me so would it be worth restoring or should I just strip the components for other projects?

Thanks and any info is appreciated.
(sorry for the crappy quality cell phone pics)
