jeez man,
I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a bike that is inevitably going to break, be stolen, or be crashed unless it was a competition bike. Especially if it meant selling my car to do so (I don't own a car anyway). Also, all this fixed gear shit is totally played out and you'll just look like a dude commuting on a downhill mtb in a couple of weeks.
As for sizing. If you want it to fit perfectly you'll have to ride before you buy. You'd be very lucky to order a custom bike that just happens to fit given measurements. You never know til you're on the bike. How many classic Italian road frames have you ridden? How do you know you like them etc.
Peace
