It just doesn't look kosher like maybe it's been in a front end collision. Anyway, it looks like the Atala Gran Prix model, a nice mid-range bike of the period (I must be trolling today, dang ) but in that condition you'll have a lot of work to do to get it in good shape. IIRC "Officine Meccaniche" is the official name of OfMega, an Italian component manufacturer. I'm assuming you're reading that off a decal or components like the crankset.
Upon review, the fork at least looks pushed back some, no comment on the frame.
repairable, just adds to the estimate of refurbishment.
