Botecchia road bike

I have a 700c Botecchia bike. I got it with 2 sets of wheels ( 1 set glue/sew-ups). It has Campy equipment, a lugged frame with beautiful workmanship, and I have squirrelled it away to work on one day. Can anyone point me to a website or other info about this brand? I assume it's Italian, and there are world champion rainbow ribbons on it, so I assume they had some success in their past. My wife is after me to lower my collection of bikes, but I think it's too pretty to send away. It also happens to fit me perfectly!
Any help please!

Thanks! I also found lots of interesting info on the threads for the classic & vintage.
Looks like a bunch of guys feeding ea. other's collecting habits!
Best deal I got was a Dave Scott Centurion Ironman with full Ultegra 600, including a computer (!) for $10 @ a yard sale in Hollywood, FL. It looked like the bike was ridden a few times & kept in the air-conditioning for yrs! About as nice a 'used' bike as I have ever seen.
I take that back-I got a nice TI bike frame from a friend's shop which went out of business, a very early Lightspeed, almost a single-digit serial #; and the best part-$100! I sent it back to Litespeed for exam & they cleaned it up & gave me a warranty!
