My first robberfly! Is a Neoitamus (legs are colorful)?

It is not
Neoitamus since it don't have L-shaped hairs behind the upper edge of compound eyes. The ovipositor remind me of
Tolmerus (atricapillus) (sometimes included in
Machimus). So I'd say
Machimus is very well possible, but let's wait for a more educated opinion.

Ok, then Machimus is possible.....
Thank you Kahis! :)

I think there are too many additional species in Italy for me to suggest more than
Neomochtherus or
Machimus. :|
