I think it might be tight, but if you look at where the virtual tube starts and ends, I don't think they are super short. I think mostly the design is for aesthetics!

The Marcarini is indeed French, from a builder in Normandy. They're were well known for producing very elegant designs and copying things from brands they admired. Hard to find now, as their production was quite small. About a 1000 frames in all. Bernard Hinault and Greg Lemond were both customers.
Gianni Marcarini was indeed Italian, and splashed Italian flags and decals in all his bikes, but the shop was in Hennebont. An ex Pro, he only gave up the shop a few years ago at the age of 77, but still keeps a hand in producing top quality cycle clothing for amateurs and professional teams alike.
