Is this the chainset you've got? "Strada" just means "road" ie a double chainset, it's actually a Super Record, Nuovo Record had the same cranks but had different rings (to make even more confusing, earlier they were just called "Record"). The BB for it is 114mm, the track version of the Super Record/Nuovo Record BB was 109mm. If you fit the road cranks onto the track BB, the inner shoulder where the inner ring sits on will hit the chainstay, if you're only ever going to use it as a single ring chainset, you can file them off.
You can check if the tapers match by putting the crank onto the axle by hand and see how much the crank taper goes onto the axle. If it goes on about halfway or less, it's prob a JIS BB.
