Not 1952, I'd say. It looks as the second version, made in 1957 (and anyway the 1200 engine was introduced in 1954).
But being an unusual car I could be wrong; the car in the background looks actually older. Why do you say 1952?

I have a doubt ; I am sure of the year :Turin 1952 ; but it's rather a Moretti  750 Sport !!!

It certainly looks more early '50s than 1957 to me. By 1957 cars were a lot lower and sleeker than this..

I'll double-check. I spent a lot of time on some photos of this car because I too was not convinced that the captions (1957 1200) could be correct.
The style would have been a step behind compared with the wonderful 1955 1200 Gran Sport by Michelotti.

The detail says I think: "Moretti Berlinetta Mille Miglia" and I think I can also read the "750"ccm
