Yes. it's a Ferrari 250 GT by Zagato.
But below are the ones most people will think of as the 250 GTZs; so what's a bit different about this one and from when does it date?

The grey and blu ones, are from 1957, with the camel roof, the white one is later (I suppose 1959) and has a flat top.
As my name can suggest, I can tell you the original plates of this cars:  grey one, first owner Camillo Luglio, GE.91334,
the blue one, GE.100336 and than MI.312234; I don't know the original plate of the white one, but now it's PD.888888.

I want to adda n information;  the white one is called "The Prototype", even if it's the last 250 Zagato  produced, with the chassis number 1367GT, sold to Vladimiro Galluzzi and never driven in competitons.

Thanks for all the information!
That is indeed what this car is and I'm not sure why they call it the Prototype either (perhaps all one-offs are referred to as prototypes by Zagato!) - unless it was the prototype for the Lamborghini 350 GTZ to which I think it bears some resemblance!:
