Coppi frame ident help

So I don't have a lot of information about this frame set. Maybe you folks can help? It was ridden by my late brother about 25 years ago and I suspect he got it used. It is steel lugged and I believe was repainted at some point as I remember it used to have chrome "plates" on the chain stays. I was, well, about 12 (time flies) at the time and remember him taking it out on long rides while I was at home wishing for a Fuji Del Ray (those were the days!).

Cheers,

Sean

Looks like a nice frame. I think the Coppis were made by Fiorelli.

Okay, I did a bit more looking and found serial numbers stamped on the inside of the left dropouts.. they are 91851 (top of dropout) and a 58 (bottom). I also noted the drilled out bottom bracket. Tres chic (if not a serious grime entry point).
