Does anyone know this bike?

Hello, I have this Bianchi- brought over from Italy sometimes after WW2. I am trying to restore it but it's hard to find people .. so i'm wondering if this one is worth something

thank you

YES! The bike's value depends on what kind of tubing was used in it and what components it has but this is in great shape!

Any bike with this kind of history is worth saving and - if mechanically necessary - restoring. Don't repaint it unless the frame is at risk - a bike's value diminishes if it has been repainted.

Only thing thing I want to do right now is replacing the tires and make it operational and i want to rock it at the parks...

Looks like a late-70s Cortina - here's a scan of the 1979 Bianchi Catalogue.

Enjoy!
