That is an interesting bike.
Yep, I think it is that TA 1500 Criterium...just hard to see the unique shape of the spindle end due to something (a wad of old chewing gum?) obscuring it.
I'm guessing again (while waiting for the OP to provide the BB threading clue) that TA BBs were offered in French and British but not Italian...did I guess right?
EDIT: No, at least for later
cotterless BB units, the '73 catalog shows 3 threadings: BR FR and Ital (I got to start making better guesses!)
