The only information I have are the numbers at the top of the seat tube. These are 2354 on one side, and 1*V on the other. There are also some Nuovo Racing stickers, as well as a sticker indicating a Columbus frame. (There are some damaged letters on the rear wheel drops.) I tried uploading photos or including an Imgur link here, but couldn't figure out how to do it until I get 10 posts. (Not sure how to turn them into a gallery, like people said above.)

Any help would be really appreciated!

EDIT: I think I have figured out how to add an album of photos to my profile. Hope that worked.
Welcome to the forums. What you have is a Bianchi Nuovo Racing frame, manufactured in Italy during 1981. I've never seen a "V" stamp on the seat lug and suspect it's a poorly struck "M", in which case it should be a 1982 model manufactured in very late 1981. The frame is Columbus SL main tubes with Falck stays and fork blades. Link to OP's photo album: https://www.bikeforums.net/g/user/557850
