Hi,

The attached was photographed in early May at Salines di Syracuse; a wetland on the SE coast of Sicily. I am thinking possibly an Emerald sp but would be very grateful for further information.

Thank you

Stu

Pretty sure the bi-coloured pterostigma makes it Southern Emerald. Could be wrong though.

Yes, that's a male Southern Emerald Damselfly/Migrant Spreadwing (Lestes barbarus).
