Very difficult to identify based of such quality photo (punctation of elytra invisible, colour? metallic or not).

Dear Lech
you are absolutely right; with my simple camera equipment I find great difficulty in photographing dark and metallic subjects. Punctuation is uniform and not deep, while the color is bronze.I enclose another attempt.

Now looks better but still difficult to identify. Combination of characters: bronze matallic sheen, black legs, partly yellow antennomeres 2 and 3 suggests Ph. scheuchi but its distribution in Italy was questionable.

Grazie comunque Lech
