You can try gluing a square piece of old inner tube on the inside of your tire, clean off the powdery talc that's on the piece of tube for better adhesion.

Rubber cement will not work, because the inside of your tire is not rubber....at least mine aren't and I doubt those Vittoria Rubino Intrepid's are rubber on the inside also. Shoogoo might be your best bet.

Shoogoo is just that, it's called Shoogoo and is a highly tacky glue used to repair shoe rubber, come sin a tube. I'd say any shoe repair place would have it as well Kmart, Walmart, Zellers, etc.

I'd caution doing too much of this though, in fact, I'd recommend buying a new tire for the front at least and using those tires with the slits for the rear. A blowout in the rear is much more easier to recover from than a front blowout.
