Mario used to ride Cinelli Integralter bars - they were designed specifically for him. Sort of a lower cost aluminum version of the current RAM bars. One piece bar and stem, with flats on the tops of the bars. They turn up on ebay occasionally. Kinda stiff riding, though.
Last time I saw a photo of Mario, it looked like he was using the Cinelli RAM bars. Beautiful looking, in their carbon fiber finish, but $500+ for a set...

Those Cinelli Integralters are old-school. Definitely wouldn't reccommend getting them; they're aluminum just like any other non-integrated set you could buy relativily, but without the "customizibily" due to their inherent fixed nature (stem/bar length, composite type, angle of bar on stem, etc). IMO, get something else instead of the Intergralter, because the key reason people sacrifice the functionality and flexibilty of the separate stem/bar combo is because the top-end exotics, such as the Cinelli Rams or Deda Alaneras, only come as an integrated set...and are undeniably cool.

Domina Vacanze are sponsored by both 3T and Specialized. I think that stem in the 2nd photo is a Specialized prototype, bars will be 3T.

Good luck with the Rams, I hope they work out for you. At the very least, you'll have the sexiest bars available on the market.
