Thanks Arthur for the suggestions, please, do not forget to add some links to illustrate your IDs, specially if there are other existing ones. Why do you switched from Sicula to Muralis?

Arthur's suggestion is a much better match. I wasn't aware of this subspecies. Thank you!

Most likely the modest Italian wall lizard Sergio. Don't go by the wiki pic, their pattern is highly variable and can change rapidly. Here is a quite similar looking one: http://www-3.unipv.it/webshi/Imago/rettili/Podarcis%20sicula%20medemi_Taormina.jpg

Arthur, Daniele and Bayucca, thank you very much. I thougth that, with that stile and colors it HAD to be something italian... :-)

That was also my guess, but shouldn't it be Podarcis sicula?
