Cut outs in BB shells are common among some high end bikes. A lot of the Italians did it like that. I have a star cutout in the BB shell of my Viner. As for who made the bars I can't help. Only two bar manufacturers in Italy I know of are Cinelli and Ambrosio.

The bars are t.t.t. which stands for Techno Tubi Torino, and which is now 3T, I believe that they evolved from Ambrosio.
It is a Bottom Bracket Shell, the spindle, bearings and cups are the "Bottom Bracket". The shell would have been slotted by the builder.
