Definitely early 60s, probably 1963 based on the serial number and the estimated dates of some other Specialissimas I have seen. I am not an expert however, someone else here may have a definitive answer. I haven't seen anything like a Bianchi register or serial number decoder on the web.

Did any parts come with it? A Brooks saddle or a Campy hub might have a date stamp that'll be a clue, if the part is original.
