Need help with an older bike

I recently got into bicycling, and I am loving it. I bought this bike after I found it online and my friend assured me it was good quality. Full Campy parts, and a cool classic feel. The previous owner had taken good care of it.

My problem is, I can't find any information on it at all. I know it comes from Italy, but I don't know from where, who, or when. I'm also curious about how much it would sell for. Not that I want to sell it, just out of curiosity.

I am including a few pictures of the bike, and two lug symbols I found. If anyone has any information, or somewhere I could start my search, it would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome. I know that components have date codes on them. It may be a letter/number combo or something similar, and I am not at all familiar with Campy. However here's a link to something that may help you. When I buy a bike & get it home I get pen & paper and start searching components for indications. Derailleurs usually have the code on the back side. Anyway, can't help you with the frame. I'm sure you'll get some good advice shortly. Here's the link:

Welcome! Since you took pictures of the bike on the "wrong" side, it is difficult to know what parts are on the drive train! If they are Nuovo Record then the date code is on the top of the rear derailleur next to the mounting bolt and represents the last two digits of the year. Upon second look, the drive train might be Victory parts (DT shifters and rings), really can't tell from the pics.

The frame is beautiful and looks to be a real keeper! Give us some pics of the drive side, seat cluster, bottom bracket, FD (with complete crank) and RD.
