Matthew- here is a post regarding Cinelli bars from January of this year.

I am looking for some information on Cinelli bars from the 80s. I am wondering what the difference between the Giro bar and CAMPIONE DEL MONDO.

Brian- those date from much earlier as well. There are actually three bends represented there:

#66 Campione Del Mondo the deepest bend, pretty constant radius as seen from the side.

#63 also Campione Del Mondo, similar to #66 about 12mm less drop, therefore a slightly tighter radius. 350mm of drop approx, measured center to center.

#64 Giro d' Italia, radius below levers is tighter, I would have to look up some old notes to reference the difference, too tight for my palms. Reach forward of the stem mount is less than the ohters as well.

#65 Criterium "slumped shoulders", someone else can comment on the bend from side view.

All were avail. in various widths, most from 38cm to 42cm and some up to 44cm measured center to center.
