It looks like Experts don't know the answer either.
Do Pro's know?

Coming from me, no surprise that the picture was indeed taken in Italy.

The workshop is linked to a well known name.

Older than the mid-seveties

I don't believe it's a Fulvia.
It's not the Nembo workshop.

I don't have a proof what it is, but I have a suspicion (not an Alfa).
My suspicion is based on the fact where and when the picture was taken + I have another shot of the workshop where the car (partly) appears under a different angle.
I'll post that pic later on (if nobody seems able to solve the puzzle or once the puzzle is solved)  ;D.

Is it one of the smaller, but not completely obscure Carrozzerias?

Output of the carrozzeria was indeed rather small, but it is absolutely not obscure.

Not Eurostyle.

Depending on your definition of 'Sports cars', but I'd say no. 
Most of the cars they made were usable for daily use...and in case they were not, it was almost never because of their sporty character...
(If you ask a difficult question...you can get a difficult answer.) :D
