You're welcome, Ivan. Your moth is very similar, especially the marking, to one I've seen here called Autographa precationis.
This moth is probably in the Family Noctuidae (Owlet Moths) and possibly in Subfamily Plusiinae (Looper Moths). If that is correct then it might be in either the Tribe Argyrogrammatini or Tribe Plusiini. At least that is where I would start looking if this were a North American moth. I'm pretty sure Argyrogrammatini and Plusiini occur in Europe as well.
