    The plants that I have considered are: Pilosella officinalis; Hieracium pilosella; Hypochoeris achyrophus and Hypochoeris aethnensis. Finally I decided that none of these are correct. I am unable to say whether this compositae is to be found only in Italy! I hope that a member might be able to identify it.

    It's one of these . . . ;-)

    There's hundreds of apomictic microspecies in those genera, so the chances of getting it identified by anyone other than an acknowledged expert in those genera are minimal.
