I raced an Italvega back in 1980-81. It was a good sturdy italian- style bike: Columbus tubing/Campy dropouts of course, reliable handling, road geometry (that is, not the tighter wheelbase/higher BB of the crit-specific bikes that became more popular in the mid 80s), and lug work that was a little rough, an Italian tradition at the time. Sounds like a heckofadeal. But I guarantee you won't sell your Rivendell after riding it. Lugged steel has come a long way Baby!
