The grill reminds some contemporary Stanguellini, but I never heard about a Stanguellini-Aprilia; the round front fenders look like some Supergioiello models, so my guess is Ghia.

Or maybe Motto?

Dear Paul Jaray,
thank you for your benvenuto, and grazie to you all at AutoPuzzles.
I've been following AutoPuzzles since several weeks and I must congratulate you and the other Forumers, especially the more experts, for finding (and then finding the name/date of) cars that are very often extravagant, real gems of automotive history and knowledge. I can barely manage to solve one half of the puzzles recurring to some dozens of books in my library, which is not a good result for an old-time enthusiast like myself. :-[
I'm sincerely puzzled by this Aprilia. This grille is so characteristic of Littorio-era Italian sports cars that it might be a little misleading, having been used in more or less the same shape by Fiat Carrozzerie Speciali or Pininfarina or Aprile (Corrado LoPresto's Aprilia....) without being a real trade mark. I wait with bated breath for the solution that will obviously force me to slap myself on my forehead thinking "Here! It was simple!" ;D
All the best from Italy,
Stefano

Don't wait and join the game!
It's not a totally obscure name, it's been featured here more than once with other cars and you'll see that the best part of the game is the search!
I'll post a side view soon. ;)

Patriarca?

Not Patriarca.

Monviso?

This is a car that I found in Frostick's Lancia book, obviously a very different car but a formally similar grille.....
That grille is reminding me of some car I've just exhamined, though a long close-up look at a nice 508 MM Fiat might have impaired my judgement. I'm impatient to see what this unknown beauty is. Riva could be a pretender.....
Cheers
