The date on the rear derailleur is 1972 so I doubt if it is late 70's. The fender mount on the brake bridge seems to indicate an earlier bike. The brakes, seatpost and crankset are not original but everything else on the bike seemed to be original. The TTT stem is the record type not the grand prix, so 1972 or 1973 seems right for this bike.

I sold a Legnano like this out of a shop I worked in about 1978. It could have been a couple of years old. Yes, it was Bozzi made, just like a Frejus at the time.
