I agree with Chuck. I have the exact same clamp on a Legnano Roma dating from the early 60s.There is no manufacture's mark on the part. Actually I took it to be a rather ordinary part until this one was outed today. Several folks obviously feel it is something more special than I did.

proprietary Cinelli seat stay clamp than is the headbadges sold recently. I
used to own a 1940's Cinelli with a seat stay clamp saying G. Cinelli. I
have also seen others where it is written Cinelli as Chuck says.
