Welcome to the forum! Your photos are very good, but the family is difficult. The photo of the genitalia could be the most important for determination. The expert is Chen Young, so wait for his opinion.
Best wishes, Sundew

Thank you all for your confidence in me. The person who can really give you a hand is Dr. Pjotr Oosterbroek (oosterbroek@science.uva.nl) send him the images and he will give you the species name.

Pjotr has been collecting crane flies in Italy for many years and he is very knowledgeable in european crane flies. Since he is also a memeber of Dipter.info I would believe he will be happy to help us solving this puzzle.

Hello AndreVrijens,
I apologize if I answer just now and my English translated by Google Translate.
Carry forward the response of Dr. Pjotr Oosterbroek:

Dear Claudio,
I had a look at your photo's on Diptera info. They are very nice, but sorry to say that species identification is not possible. I assume it is Tupula Subgenus Lunatipula.
...
All the best,
Pjotr

Still sorry for the delay :|
