To answer your question, Daniele Marnati is a 2nd generation frame builder working in Milan. Both of the Marnatis worked as mechanics to teams and built frames with other decals on them...I've seen about 10 frames (in person) baring Marnati decals now and I haven't seen one I didn't find distinctive and beautiful.

I'd go with lugged Spirit myself.
