Thank you all for the nice and warm welcome !!
For what my chances are I will try to help you in your research on Italian material. If I am not able, I will direct you to more competent people in my forum (if it is allowed to report other forums on B & C-MBF).
Thank you, see you soon and excuse me immediately for my very bad English!!!
Massimo

This is probably a non-military button.
Generally the military buttons show (like the British ones) the frieze of the Department of belonging (Infantry, Artillery, etc.) or the numbers of the Regiment.
Many pamilitary groups of civil origin (City Guards, field guards, forest guards, etc. and many civic bands, have uniforms similar to military ones, with simplified buttons in the graphics.
Your button does not possess any of the typical elements of military departments and it is therefore very difficult to arrive at a secure identification.
