I believe it is a hummingbird hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum). It is hovering while feeding on flowers producing an audible humming noise, which makes it look like a hummingbird.

Grazie, Giangiorgio, sono stato fortunato ad aver visto questa sfinge colibrì durante il giorno che di solito ho notato solo dopo il tramonto, ciao Sandor

Great shot, I am especially impressed with the spread out motion-frozen wings!

Very nice capture of the Hummingbird Moth, Sandor. Wonderful job of stopping the motion of the wings. Best regards, Paul.
