Are there two forks or did you strip the paint off of it? Did you paint it? It does look like a Bianchi judging by the BB shell stamping and the B on the downtube lug.
The cables under the toptube do not look like Bianchi so someone moved them. The reinforcing on the brake dridge reminds me of an earlier '80s bike, is it set up for nutted or recessed brakes? But the pump peg says post '86ish. Is there anything on the fork crown or seatstay caps?

I am thinking that is one of the many Formula 2 tubed frames from the later '80s, but someone obviously moved the cables guides and modified the brake bridge.

Looks like a Bianchi "Touring" model of the late eighties or early 90s. Cable guides mounted under the top tube were fairly typical on that model, especially on ones made for the Italian market. Bici uomo Bianchi Euro 70 - Annunci Torino
According to the catalog, tubing was "double butted Bianchi Hi-Tensile" with "Mangalloy" fork and 27" wheels. That makes it one step above the most basic model.
