Well.... I guess it's Gnaphosidae, at first glance I supposed Aphantaulax or similar species for the white dots pattern. Now, matching with the various possibilities (Micaria etc.) I think to Phaeocedus braccatus, who occurs in this Region. I think the pattern could fit, so as the location (rocks on a sunny slope), while other "white dotted" species dwell on grass, in woods. Also dimensions should fit (compared to lichen thallus you get it was a tiny specimen)... the only question is that https://wiki.arages.de/index.php?title=Phaeocedus_braccatus tells it lives up to 2000 m, while we were at about 2400. But it wouldn't be the first time you see something higher than known.
As usual I thank for attention, confirms, and see any remarks.
I'd like to tell it's A. circe for the location (a leaning small rockwall over steep grassland and woods), but I can't say.
Several specimens as usual in wetlands. Here from juvenile to adult female carrying eggsac, from (sub)adults to small spiderlings in their web. All together in a 2 km large area.
Two specimen.
The male (subadult?), seen frontally, shows a clear dark marginal line on prosoma; in the middle, the dark line tapers to the back. So I guess it could be Kochiura aulica.
Not far from the seaside.
Several specimens; from cocoon to (sub?)adult spiders, females and males.
The presence of Pimoa graphitica in this area, and the absence of other Pimoa species was studied by Stefano Mammola, Gustavo Hormiga, Miquel A. Arnedo and Marco Isaia in
"Unexpected diversity in the relictual European spiders
of the genus Pimoa (Araneae : Pimoidae)", 2016.
I see that Pimoa webs remind someway Theridiidae ones, maybe less three-dimensional.
In an old cave in the woods, at about 1450 - 1500 m, several specimens.
Trovato vivo nel pollaio (found alive inside the chicken coop)
The question is not the spider itself (one of the most common species), but the larva on its abdomen.

Maybe Bolyphantes (for habitus, pattern and hairs on palps...).
Bl about 3,5 mm.
Larches wood, at about 1700 m.

I got what it was only when I saw the photos at home...
Leiobunum rupestre??
1140 m, beeches wood, under the roof of a wooden board at the side of a road.
Eratigena agrestis, I think.
On the flat part of a mountain brook bank; in that place the slope wasn't steep, but quite plane.
Web at the side of a stone on the ground (you can see the stone and the location in two photos), but not so far from the water, or high over it, I mean that every flood could submerge it.
At 1680 m.
Body lenght 7 - 9 mm.
Seen the seasonality (adults from june to november), and its bl, maybe a young/subadult female?

This spider was observed by Chiara Bellando, who sent me the photos agreeing on posting them on iNaturalist.
Seen at 400 - 500 m.
Mating. In a small wood near a small river. And small spiders... : )
At 460 m.
One spider, in a larches wood, at about 1950 - 2000 m, NW Italian alps.
On (under) a sheet web, at the edge of a leaning wall of a mossy rock.
Prosoma: light green, no visible pattern.
Opisthosoma: with marbled pattern, brown bands and a dark longitudinal line. On the back, a white line is visible.
Legs: light green, no visible rings.
Body lenght about 5 mm, maybe less.

White hairs on its sides, reddish palps, grey venter.
At about 2100 m, between larches woods and steep pastures.
I humbly suppose Nomisia exornata, I explain why.
In this Region are known two species, N. exornata and N. aussereri.
In this season you should see adults of N. aussereri (N. exornata adults occur in spring - summer); this specimen is about 4 mm body lenght, smaller than adult N. aussereri specimens.
So I suppose it's a young N. exornata...

Eresus kollari, I think, for: white hairs around black dots, red hairs on legs III and IV, and season (E. kollari adults should occur in late summer - fall).
1480 m.
In the first photo you can see, although from behind, the right fang. It was trying to terrify us. In the third photo it was indeed in its typical scaring display (deimatic display? - atteggiamento terrifico).

Two adult females, both carrying their eggsac, one already with some spiderlings on her back.
At about 1900 m, larches wood, clearings.

On pebbles very near a brook at 1890 m, at the bottom of a valley.
I'm going on to add obs of the several Pardosa specimens we saw here.
I suppose they were different species,
I think you could id at species level just two of them...
In this obs you see a nice greyish pattern female with eggsac. Different female from https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/104044587

Credo sia Agelena labyrinhica...mi sembrava di spiare in casa di qualcuno attraverso un vetro. L'ho trovato a una ventina di cm da terra lungo un corso d'acqua.
A male specimen approaching a female web.
I'd like to identify as P. tepidariorum instead of similar P. simulans for body lenght, at least the female was over 5 mm.
In a sheltered spot on a building wall (exp. N), over 1000 m, NW Italy.
