"According to Sutherland's, all Campag front axles are 100mm over locknuts. Hollow and solid Campag track axles are 9mm diameter and solid road axles 8mm diameter. It also says that other Italian front axles are 96mm over locknuts. So are Japanese. "

Bianchi did in fact use 95 mm front over locknut axles widths for many years. I have one from the 30's and another from the 40's, both with Campagnolo Q/R's. I do not however believe they were used recently, except on custom bikes.
