The Italian > C2 blog has a photo of one for mock tests that appears to be Quaderni.

Excellent that is just the sort of thing I was looking for.

These books seem to be hard to find. Amazon US had some but they were ridiculously priced at $300-400. I got one from http://www.mondadoristore.itbut they don't seem to have any today so maybe I got the last one. http://www.ibs.it seems to have the C2 quaderni available today.

This site has some of the lower levels and has the higher levels listed but they aren't currently in stock though I don't know how accurate the "reprinting" status is.

You can also get practice exams here from the home of the exam:

One of the orgs in the US that offers the tests says the books are available from Export Office, Gruppo Editoriale Giunti, Via Bolognese 165 - 59139 Florence but I didn't find them on their web site so the information may be dated.

Book Depository has Traguardo CILS (test prep for the B2 level exam). It's about $30 and ships from the U.K.

I purchased several books from there in 2012-2014 or so ("il mio IBS" always made me laugh ), but at one point they started requiring an Italian credit card
