This section of the roof appears to open. If so, is this an important feature relating to the 'specific function' for which the vehicle was created?
Is it Amphibious?

It's only an open roof: no relation or specific function. perhaps made for looking the stars :)
Party bus?
maybe there were parties in there ;D
Could the odd color scheme (drab grey/blue with orange vertical stripe at the tail) be a clue as to the builder, owner or purpose?

as I said, I don't think you can find who built the vehicle just by asking who the owner was and where he came from (unless you just want to know out of curiosity).
The vehicle, as has already been said, was built in Italy: I am interested in knowing from whom
maybe
Built in the 1980's by Italian coachbuilder on a Fiat 697 chassis for use in the Middle East. The function is obscure - a leisure vehicle but not for hunting.
Was it for camping?
it's a motorhome
Built in Northern Italy?
sorry no idea
Let's give the Masters a chance at this one again..
ok!
I have it as Fiat Orlandi motorhome, called CHEYENNE, by SEAC Cars Desert, Rome.
It seems it was sold to some rich person in the Middle East.
good job! 2 points for you!!!
