Need help selecting handlebars

Hello All. Last fall I picked up a project bike... a late sixties or early seventies Rossignoli. It appears to be sort of a quality bike (it has campy dropouts, lugged frame, and crowned fork). Unfortunately, over time, it's has lost some of it's original parts, including it's handlebars. I want to replace the bars with something that's era appropriate and quality appropriate. I don't think this bike was top shelf, but it wasn't entry level either. I don't know if anything but Italian manufacturers (namely Cinelli or 3TTT) would be "appropriate". It seems to me that both of these companies vintage parts have their fans (and accordingly higher prices). I have a pair of alloy GB handlebars, which other than the GB marking near the end, are totally unmarked (I don't know what time frame they were made). Would generic bars like these have appeared on an Italian bike? I could use these, but I'm not sure if that was done "back in the day". Any words of wisdom?

No, GB will not do on an Italian frame. Cinelli or 3TTT it must be!
