Or retap it to Italian thread?

Is that possible? Do you have any experience doing this or know of other people who did it? I briefly googled this option but I didn't really find any conclusive evidence. I guess it would be a job for a frame builder or do you reckon bigger bike shops have the neccessary tools? Thanks in advance!
p.s. the difference in shell width (fr 68mm/ita 70mm) might be a problem, too.

Any decent shop with a bottom bracket chasing'n'facing set should be able to do it, although whether they'd trust themselves to do it properly is another matter. The 68mm/70mm thing isn't an issue - just fit a 1mm spacer on each side of the BB shell once it's retapped.
