Yes, it is Italian.
It's a Fiat-based special - but not Fiat Dino and not a replica Ferrari 196 but you're very close with that one.
All I need for the point is what the car is based on and what it is a replica of.

Fiat 1100?

...and what it is a replica of.
I tossed "196" out there because several builders have applied this moniker to their similarly-bodied replidoodads with 2-liter Fiat Dino Coupe powertrains. I suppose the builder of this Fiat-based car might have called it a TR59/60 replica instead (though it bears little more than a superficial resemblance to any sports racing Ferrari).

I've given gte4289 the point because yes, it is based on a Fiat 1100.
I'm not sure it's actually meant to be a replica but more a loose evocation on the style of the TR250, so your description is pretty near!

It's actually described as a 'Fiat 1100 Sport Barchetta Evocation 1959' but I've had difficulty copying any the pictures apart from the ones below.  It's said to have been built in the early 1960s with the body designed to look like a Ferrari Testarossa, but pictures are few and far between and I find it hard to believe it's been around for over 50 years, looking at its condition.
It was advertised on ebay USA for $87,500.
