I guess that works. For guys similar height who I've seen in the last 24 ours, I'd put him maybe slightly above Cossu(73), on par with Pisano(77), above Esposito(73), below Di Vaio(73), above Sculli(76), above Mascara(73) and Marchionni(73).
I did this before looking at Height & weight, and their current Bal values. Here is my conclusion of this group:
Franco BRIENZA 168/70 - 76
Andrea COSSU 171/63 - 73
Francesco PISANO 174/67 - 76 or 77
Marco MARCHIONNI 175/66 - 73 or 74 (got to see him head to head with Pisano)
Mauro ESPOSITO 172/71 - 71 or 72
Marco DI VAIO 179/78(really

) - 75 or 76
Giuseppe MASCARA 175(yeah right!

)/66 - 73
Giuseppe SCULLI 177/71 - 74 or 75
Other guys while I'm at it:
Davide CARRUS 170/67 - (75)
Sebastian GIOVINCO 164/59(

) - (73) - looking at this and considering the size difference b/n him and Mascara makes me agree his Bal will eventually need to be improved
Alessandro DEL PIERO 173/73 - (78)
Mauro ZARATE 173/68 - (77)
Pasquale FOGGIA 172/71(yeah right

) - (70) - should be 1 or 2 points below Esposito
Andrea ARDITO 172/61 - (74)
Walter GARGANO 168/65 - (76) - comapring him to Brienza, who should have the higher Bal?
Fabrizio MICCOLI 168/64 - (79) - probably could be closer to 81 w/ Simplicio being 171/75 - (82)
Luca VIGIANI 180/74 - (74) - Looks more justified now that you see how much bigger he is, and he hits the deck more than a lot of these guys.
Carlos CARMONA 168/68 - (78) - plays bigger than his height and weight.
Vincenzo MONTELLA 172/71 - (69) if he is that, than what is Foggia
CICINHO 172/68 - (76)
David PIZARRO 170/65 - (78)
Camilo ZUÑIGA 172/72 - (74)
Alessandro ROSINA 168/65 - (78) - There were cries for even higher, and looking on here I think they have a point. Slight player, but doesn't go down easily
Marco PISANO 174/75 - (77) - gotta be the smallest CB
Alexis SÃNCHEZ 170/69 - (74)
Antonio DI NATALE 170/70 - (77)
