The open aperture allowed you to create a beautiful background at the expense of the detail on the subject which is obviously a bit lacking, apart from this the image is still very beautiful.
As for the species, it is not a praying mantis but a Hierodula sp. (probably H.tenuidentata), an allochthonous species native to Asia that has now also settled in Italy.

Thank you Growl for liking the photo. With the lens I used, it was unthinkable to have much detail of the subject while it did its job with the background. Your analysis is perfect! Even more thank you for the clarification on the identification of the name that I promptly correct. Hi Siro.
