Looks like a pretty good bike: its a "Made in Italy" Bianchi from the seat tube decal and the frame is built with Columbus tubing. Dark anodized aluminum rims and quick release hubs. Maybe a late 1980s bike, a guess based on the braze-ons for 2 water bottles and a pump peg.

I'm afraid that you may have to live without knowing exactly what year and model this bike is. I've read enough of these Bianchi threads to come to the conclusion that there is no magic formula. There is no master website like there is for Trek, where you can look up your bike in a variety ways. If you have your hands on the bike, there is a few ways you can whittle the age down. If you can see what type Columbus tubing is used, there are a couple of sites that track the history. Type in "Vintage Columbus tubing" and you will find some. There are other sites that will help you date the components. IMO it's an 80's touring-type bike based on the length of the chainstay.

What components does it have? They may have date codes on them that would help you out.

Hello is that "Tre Tubi Alle" or "Formula Two"? what kind of shifters/rearderailuer does it have? Suntour Alpha 7000? Modolo brakes? looks like maybe a '88
