Your Bike Sucks! Bianchi makes the best socks!

I'm a mountain biker, so hardly an expert on roadie stuff, but it sounds like you got a nice bike. Bianchi makes some really nice road bikes (my wife's road bike is a Bianchi) - they have a fine tradition: Some of my friends like to find old high end Italian steel road bikes that people set out at the curb... strip + powder coat them, put on new wheels and new high end drive trains and brakes (or single speed them)... Bianchis figure prominently in their collections. Great bikes!
Anyway, as Sondeen said, many frames are made in Taiwan nowadays and it's not really a big deal. Bianchi specializes in road, but they make a full range including full suspension mountain bikes. They aren't so popular for mtb's but I hear they are pretty decent - just lots of good mtb specialist companies doing more interesting stuff imho. Anyway, the main thing is to get out and ride.
That said, if you have a Bianchi, you really need to get a pair of their socks. But you better be fast if you're wearing them! Ha! See image.
if your LBS doesn't have them, they exist online.
