Is this car photographed in Sicily?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

I think you're right - I didn't look as far as 1926 because the car looked older. But the puzzle photo has what looks like a V-radiator, and the Itala Special had a flat grille.

It was not a standard Itala and it received a nickname by Materassi.

First it was called "L'Italona" and after it was painted bright yellow it became the "Canarona"
