I'm not an expert either. It is called Eurasian Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo). Wildlife/Nature Photography is an opportunity to learn about all creatures great and small. I did a google search and found out this. http://www.owlpages.com/species/bubo/bubo/Default.htm
Thank you Guido!

I'm not an expert. I guess it's called in Italy "Gufo Reale", something like "King owl" in english.

Very nice! Great captive wildlife photo opportunity in contrast to the architecture in the area! What owl species is this Guido?

Answering to Nick question: it was part of a show in Siena (Toscana, Italia) about ancient fighting technics, see attached picture.
Contrasting a lot of people that wanted to see the birds was not so difficult as a real wild safari but...
Thanks
Guido

:) The eyes says it all. This image could be funny or be scary as well, depending on the caption. Nice capture of those eyes. I noticed you said 154mm equivalent...is this owl a pet or wild, just curious how you get so near it. Cheers
