The early "Concorde" frames were made by the same company that made Ciocc frames, that's right!
The later frames can be from anywhere...
The frame you pictured here: I doubt if that is a Concorde.
I think it should have Italian BB-set. Can you check that? What kind of marking is on the cups?
The lugs, fork crown, dropouts don't look like an (Italy made) Concorde.
I think of a resprayed frame, but no idea who made it.
The first Concorde frames had lugs with a "C" and that bird (condor?) in it.
There were also (later?) Concorde frames with a heart shape cutout in the lugs (refer to De Rosa).
Concorde is the label of a Dutch company named Rentmeester or Veltec.
To them, the origin of the frame is not the most important.
They also do/did a lot of respray.
Again, this could be anything.
