I've just had a look at the pictures - It looks a lot like some of the work Paul did back in the later 80's early 90's - I recall he used a lot of columbus - definitely worth trying to confirm whether your mystery italian is actually from Sturminster marshall!!!
It may be worth contacting Poole Wheelers - I vaguely recall that Paul was a pretty handy rider too, I think that was his club.
btw - did you get this on ebay back in feb/march as a fixed?
I think I bid it up to about £50 and then let it go - regretted it at the time as I recall it went for a very good price - though looking at the BB shell, I'm relieved I didn't go much further !!!

Good luck with whatever you do with it
