Just trying....... it keyed out with a little trouble to S xanthotrichus. Description fit good. Especially abdomen and the fox-red bristles. Species not known from Italy though. Try to compare with other collection.

Thanks to both.
Reinoud, where can I find the keys you are using?

In this case i only used Engel 1930. Maybe you could also try Richter 1988.
