Si tratta della solita I. genei?

I'm not familiar with Italian fauna, but for sure this is not Ischnura... is a female of Coenagrion caerulescens (Fonscolombe,1838).
I'm not sure about the ID because of the next reasons... the antehumeral blue stripes are not enough wide... will be nice to see a close up of the pronotum.
the other possibility is Coenagrion scitulum (Rambur, 1842), but this female don't look like the one I know from Romania and Greece.
but will be nice to receive a confirmation or infirmation from your local specialists... as I have never seen this species yet.

hope this helps.

Ho provato ad ingrandire un po' le foto e la forma dello pterostigma farebbe escludere Coenagrion caerulescens. Anche il pronoto sembrerebbe avere un lobo mediano che confermerebbe dunque femmina di Coenagrion scitulum (Rambur, 1842)

Calogero appena ti è possibile potresti inserire un ritaglio del pronoto e degli pterostigmi?

after this the only conclusion is Coenagrion scitulum (Rambur, 1842).
a question, this is the normal color/marking of the abdomen in females in that part of the world?
