For 1 point, what's this, by whom and from when?

You're right, yes.
I actually had it as by Scioneri, but looking into it that's clearly wrong.
We've had a very similar car before, but it was the Allemano Fiat 1500 CoupĂ© from 1961, which is almost the same at the front but quite different around the rear. 
This car is in fact described as the Allemano Fiat 1500 Berlina from 1963 so it's a point to you.

No, although the Michelotti-styled Scioneri Fiat 1500 looks similar, is a subtly different.  I was lucky enough to briefly drive this lovely 1500 Sportiva in Belgium last year.  It's a beaut!

Yes, that's the well-known one but I thought I must have found an almost unknown one!  I really should know better than the trust the Internet; it was on the Classic Car Catalogue site under the Scioneri page for 1963.  I compared it with the Allemano one but decided it was different because the rear-end was not the same, but of course it turned out to be a slightly later Allemano Berlina.
You are indeed lucky to have driven the Sportiva, and it's wonderful to know that it both still exists and is driven!
