It looks like what the Hungarians call fokos, a battle axe. You are right the marks look Northern Italian. Maybe it was made there for the Eastern European market. Interestingly to my knowledge fokos don’t have langets. It looks fairly well used. The edge looks like it was lovingly sharpened many times so it’s not a decoration piece.
