That is Coppi. And I noticed that front fender too.
Early 50s, but I never noticed a fender on other bikes of that era. I didn't notice the tire saver. Also, looks like a threaded boss of some sort on the fork (fender bracket??). Maybe Paris-Roubaix??
Also, didn't really know much about Coppi but he died of malaria at age 40, right after returning from some sort of bike ride in Africa. There is this entire conspiracy theory about how he was actually poisoned as revenge for running an African rider off the road in a race 2 years prior
