Frame reminds me of my Italvega super speciale, which was sourced from Torpado. That one is Columbus, and I think this one is too. Early to mid 1970's, in my opinion.

yes, looks like 1973-74 time.

the Italvega version of this frame was called the Nuovo Record model. it was fitted with 49D chainset, Universal 61 brakes, Campg NR gear ensemble and Campg NT hubs.
