I've had a look on eBay but there doesn't seem to be many options I must admit.
Do you have an appropriate chainset for the bike. I think it deserves something special, as you have gone to all the trouble of fitting the Cambio gear.
I know Bayliss Wiley have deep cups and they do a BB set with a sleeve which works on frames with damaged bracket threads. Whether they do an Italian size or whether you could get something similar from another brand I'm not sure.
I will keep an eye out
Excellent by the way can you tell us more about the frame? -
I came across this article on Dave Keeler quite by chance:

It struck me that his position looks pretty similar to yours on your Benotto, and I think it's fair to say that he was by far the most successful British Paris-Robaix user.

You could fit non-threaded cups which tighten on their own internal threads. Mavic make one, which I believe is the 610. It can be used when the BB threads have completely failed. It's also easy to adjust the chainline as you can slide the whole assembly left/right.
Mr Stone has the Mavic and other examples https://www.hilarystone.com/bottombracketother.html

Anyone got any cambio corsa long levers. Mine are short.
Are there such a thing as fixed cups which are as deep as the DS cup on a modern square taper. For italian thread. On my Benetto iha e haste fit an andel chainset and shimano square taper bb as the old cottered bb cup would not stay in placem the shell seems to have tapered over the years and a deeper cup is required now.
The other option is a stronglight 49d.
