Help on mark on Italian sword ca. 1580

Beautiful sword! Curious that it has a relatively short blade, but a two-handed hilt. Although many Lange Messers had a long hilt, which is utilized in fighting with that particular weapon. Perhaps there is an overlapping of traditions between Germanic lands and northern Italy.

Yes interesting with two-handed hilt. May we have measurements, please?
