Yes, they are marked "Strada" and were for all practical purposes just reg cranks with the inner chain ring shoulder machined off. We have sold a smattering of them, most often as time trail bike cranks! My shop employee Jason just built up his new fixed gear Landshark with them, take a look: >>

A lower cost alternative to 'single plateau' cranks has always been the avocet

Also Italian, and came in 165 and 170 sized Anodized red, blue, or gold. There were chainrings (not sure whetrher 1/8 or 3/32 but who cares, we regularly interchange either with the 1/8 chain) I have some of these in the stash but without a value, can't officially offer
them for sale
