Info On this frame?

So I've had this frame forever, held onto it with the hopes of one day figuring out how to get the giant kink out of it (doubtfully) Anyways, i've never been able to find any information on it, anyone ever heard of it/know anything about it?

Quick google search confirms Italian origins.

What's up with the downtube? It looks mega wrecked.

You can always keep it as art. Any bike makes a good conversation piece.
