In my source, a magazine, the picture appeared earlier. Probably it was a predecessor model, of the Mercurio. For example, the engine block looks like a other model. Please search for another date.
To the connection between Gilera and MV Agusta: Piero Remor and Carlo Gianini developed in 1923 the first transverse 4-cylinder racing engine for motorbikes. In 1935 Gilera took over the project, the famous "Rondine". Due to the ban on compressors after the Second World War, Remor had to overhaul the engine. Due to various problems with and at Gilera, he changed in 1949 to MV Agusta. He is said to have forgotten, to take the blueprints of the 500/4 engine out of his file cabinet....

No, Marte had a different engine.

I thought you were asking me for the specific name of this version ...
For the year, it must be 1938

...or a little bit later. I think specific name was never asked.

Yes, this is your next point! Sorry for the missunderstansing, I don't know the name myself. It seems to be a protype whose engine is based on the Gilera Saturno. For the series it was probably too elaborate and too expensive. Does one of our Italy experts know more?
And then, on this occasion, the story had to be told of how the Conte Agusta got its successful racing engines.
