Subject: [CR]ITM history question

Can anyone shed some light on when Italmanubri (ITM) showed up on the scene (or morphed from another Italian manufacturing entity)?

What brings this question to mind is a set of ITM bars and stem that I recently acquired. They felt a bit heavy and when I removed the bar tape, the bar is steel with an aluminum sleeve. This is an arrangement that I haven't seen before and makes me curious about the age of them or whether this set was a lower line product. Stem fixing bolt is recessed Allen key so it probably isn't very old.

Thanks, Charlie
