Is leggera an accurate guess?
If so what would the frame might be worth?

From: Hervey Bay, Qld, Australia.
Bikes: Colnago (82, 85, 89, 90, 91, 96, 03), 85 Cinelli, 90 Rossin, 83 Alan, 82 Bianchi, 78 Fountain, 2 x Pinarello, Malvern Star (37), Hillman (70's), 80's Beretto Lo-Pro Track, 80's Kenevans Lo-Pro, Columbus Max (95), DeGrandi (80's) Track.
I reckon it could be a Nuovo Racing model. Check his site out:

The rear dropout eyelets, painted fork crown and frame and Nuovo record components are what I'm looking at.
What's it worth? To a Bianchi fan - my guess - $200 (the asking price) as there are some parts missing and it is a bit knocked about as well as the 'wrong' colour.
Parting it out - could be worth a little more.
What would I do? I would think about a re-paint in celeste and a re-build according to the brochure shown in the 'bulgier' catalogue. I don't think it would harm this particular bike or its 'patina' value.

"Super Leggera" was a model of complete bike using a top of the line Reparto frame, the same frame used for the "Super Corsa", and sold bare as a Specialissima.
That bike is not a Reparto frame, it's a Nuovo Racing or Nuvo Alloro model as mentioned above.
The Reparto frames from this period came in "just too typical Celeste", or black.
