2 quick thoughts on Legnano repair - both require a new square taper chainset though!
1) Threadless cartridge BB : The Zenith is £15 from Velosolo, the 2 cups screw onto the shell. I think it's only available for BSA shells, so you'll have to put some coke cans round the cups to hold it in place!
TFG do one that comes ready shimmed for italian shells, but it's twice the price
2) Ofmega do a Plastic cupped cartridge BB - £10 from SJS - though you may be able to source it in Italy. If it's anything like the FAG brackets, the cup threads come up big and compress to fit. If you check that the cups go in ok and then cover them in Araldite and fit them in, that may be good enough.
