Southern White Admiral (Limenitis reducta)
Snapping this picture was a bit of “planned luck”. On our way in on a hike in Piemont we spotted this butterfly sitting with folded wings on a tree. Some hours later, on our way back, we hung around in the same spot - and indeed, soon it appeared and sat down on a flower.
This was what we saw before noon:
