Ho Tommo and welcome to the forum.

There's no way for that to be confirmed as a meteorite with that amount weathering and oxidised iron on it. All I could say that the appearance is more consistent with it being a natural terrestrial iron-rich concretionary mass... and that of course would be a much more likely find than a meteorite.

You've told us nothing about its properties (magnetism, streak colour?) or the geological context in which you found it, and haven't exposed either the true surface (below the weathering) or the interior.

I find it in Piedmont far from vulcanic zones. It was 15 cm underground BUT the Land was moved many times during the years. I Will clean It and I Will send new photos. (It isn't magnetic and It isn't so heavy)
