i have to confess, that i've never seen one in central italy. presumably most do not feel the need for one.in the case of a barrier to a road the most they usually go in for is a weighted iron bar which in extreme cases can be chained down to avoid passage on the road, this sometimes is red and white but gives it quite a zoll/douane/customs like look...alternatively villa's seem to go in for fancy wrought iron jobs.....

I think I saw one in Castarama (Italys answer to B&Q) Val Vabrata junction of A14, near San Bennedetto. But fabros (metal workers) here are much more reasonable here then I expected. Perhaps you just picked one that decided he wanted "a bit of an earner" I would try a couple of others. Good luck
