Faggin (yes, the pronunciation is fa-JEEN, with a soft "J") makes some very nice frames. Most (if not all) would be Campy-equipped, but there's no reason it couldn't have DuraAce or whatever you like. You just have to get used to all the cr*p you're gonna hear from people who mis-read the name!
They are still in business in Padua:

video of "a day at the workshop" at that site, too: shows "Cristina" (one of Marcello Faggin's daughters, the other is Maria) doing some brazing...call her feminine! The dude is Massimo.
I think you have to buy based on the female co-ownership of the brand.:0)
