Wow !! other than the added swoopy-dupe on the tranny tunnel, it looks very authentic, and I'm 99.9 % sure it is an aluminum body. Seeing many clues such as hood latch brackets , firewall electrical components, door hinges, door tube frame, pedals,etc that, while probably not original, are original looking.
As far as the body goes, it does look like a Kirkham, but if so, it could be no older than 1997. It could very well be hand formed by local craftsman or shop. Remember, this is in Italy, home of the aluminum bodied specials !!
Chassis could be from an AC Bristol, but would have 3" rails instead of the 4" 427 rails.
I doubt they would have kept the transverse leaf susp.
Need pics/ discription of frame/suspension.
