Aren’t Italian shells a different width?

Edit: yup, Italian shells are 70mm wide.

this is the really odd think. MY bottom bracket shell is only really 65/66mm wide. Look like I'll have to go with Italian bottom bracket though just to get the threads to hold....

Sounds like a bsa shell that's been over enthusiastically faced and chased. Italian threads are different diameter and direction, you won't just be able to pop an italian bb into a bsa shell.
