I may get a nitto pearl, I need a little height also.
Pearls, Technomics, and Technomic Deluxes are also not 26.4, they're either 25.4 or 26.0. It's arguable whether it's suitable to stretch a 26.0 Nitto over a 26.4 Cinelli or Ambrosio handlebar, but some will say you're taking your life in your hands if you do and the clamp area cracks.

If it really doesn't fit, you'll bung up the Cinelli bars trying to make it fit (EXPERIENCE!!!).
