During the evening this insect entered in my apartment. When it was flying I was able to see something orange under these wings that are visibly in the pics.
Any idea about the species?
Thank you very much for help.

Hi Cristian

It looks very like a White-marked (Cerastis leucographia) from a photo in my "Complete British Insects" (Michael Chinnery, Collins - page 231). Have a look at the pictures on some of the moth sites like www.ukmoths or www.leps.it to see if you think it fits.

Best

I think this is Large Yellow Underwing Noctua pronuba.
