I have fitted thermoswitches to a GTV and my Giulia.  One was sourced from
a scrap Alfetta radiator (thanks Lee Scanlon) and the other from a FIAT
128.  Sweat the fitting off the old radiator with a blowlamp.  Cut the hole
in the bottom tank, next to the outlet, with a 22mm flat blade wood bit.
Clean up with sandpaper, then sweat the new one on using flux and plumbers
solder.  A doddle.
