Trichopoda on kaki tree (Diospyros kaki)
I found this (belive it's newcomer from USA) Trichopoda fly last autmn. Istria - not so far from Italy - they introduced Trichopoda for pest (Pentatomid bug-Nezara viridula) control.
If i'm right (that it is newcomer from Italy in Slovenia) then it must be T.pennipes but it looks somehow different.
