This is a recent acquisition I am searching for info on.Any help would be appreciated.

Chesini head tube badge with Chesini steel headset.All except the tires appear to be in original condition,most components are steel except Weinmann 600 brakeset,Nisi Toro tubular rims,& Simplex seatpost.

Frame is marked with Campione Del Mondo decals.

Seat tube decal is marked: Premio Internationale Ercole D'oro Assegnato alla Bicicletta Chesini Roma 1972 Oscar della Bicicletta

Campagnolo Velox rear derailleur,Valentino looking front derailleur.Steel cottered crankset with no visible name markings.Roto steel cage pedals.Gnutti quick release levers on unidentifiable low flange steel hubs.3ttt alloy mod.Gran Prix bars & alloy stem.Gipiemme front & rear dropouts.No tubing labels,but it does not appear to be top of the line quality.

Anybody seen one of these?Original owner claimed to have bought it while on
holiday in Verona.
Thanks,
