This is a small and beautiful bee with a less common colouring. I think it is a Megachilidae, but have no idea on the species.
Thanks,

It's an Anthophorid. Genus Amegilla?

It may be Anthophora (subgenus Amegilla) quadrifasciatus, or a related species. Anthophora in the Mediterranean is very difficult to identify.
