Jay,
Wow! Amazing bike. I just love everything about it. My dream bike is one in a 53cm. I have a Japanese magazine "Italian Road Racer" that has a photo of the same DeRosa as yours, in a slightly smaller size. Beautiful ! Enjoy!!

This bike was purchased new in Italy directly from Ugo, who described this bike to the buyer as a stage racer (as opposed to a criterium bike? One of these days I plan to do a compare and contrast exercise regarding the frame geometries of the Italian steeds.) The buyer raced it for one season then retired the bike to a warm dry room in Sag Harbor NY where it sat until a few months ago. Other than replacing the dryrotted Setas, nothing was done to it.
