This is maybe 50-60 years old (my guess). Some info on the maker here.

That's some translation. L'italiano è più facile da leggere rispetto l'inglese.

Sorry... I somehow missed that you said it was about 60 years old. It might be a decent instrument but I can;'t tell from the photos. I would highly doubt it was worth any serious money -- it is not one of the more desirable makers.
