Maybe bomb fuze?

Good evening everyone, has anyone ever seen a similar object?
I would trace it back to some airplane bomb fuze but I'm not 100% convinced.
The only information I have is that it was found on a beach in Furbara near Rome.

I only know a Polish bomb fuze with this shape (difference : vanes and not suspension lug - brass or steel body).
 
 
The shape is characteristic of the Skoda bomb Fuzes. However, as Minenaz wote, these fuzes are generally topped by a vane. I am not aware of such fuzes with a vertical suspension and (possibly) a vane (absent here) on the lower segment.
Maybe Nabob or Akon can be of help.

These are photos of of a typical Skoda bomb fuze - here for 20kg bombs:
