I can give you the adress from the german online shop. But I am pretty sure, that there are several italian online shops. I order my briar here: [link]
Ask me if you need some translations.

How do you drill the hole though the long piece of the pipe? I'd love to know how to make a pipe like this, just not sure how.

If you are owning a turning lathe, you could use a so called gun drill. It's easy to manufacture by yourselve. Take a piece of spring steel wire. Then you take a file and make it looking like the drill on number 3 here: [link]
I recommend you to make 4 drills of different length. Like if you want to make a bar of 30cm you should start to bore with a 10cm drill, then 20cm, 25cm 30cm. I think you got the point. And make the bar first a little thicker than the actual bar should be later, because the drill will not come out at the center.
I hope you have understood my bad english. For more questions don't hesitate to ask. Oh, and I use a drill with 4mm aperture. During the boring you should blow the shavings out from time to time. And ceep some cold damp cloth beside your lathe to cool down the drill.

Ah okay. Your link doesn't work, but I think I understand what you are saying.
I'm sure I wont be able to make anything as good as your pipes, but I'll at least try and thank you very much.
