This jumping spider is very common in the area where I live in Italy. The peculiar thing is that during the mating season, the male transitions from a brown-gray coloration to the black-red coloring you can see in the image. It is absolutely non-venomous or aggressive; on the contrary, if you treat it well, it will never leave and will give you the opportunity to take a lot of photos.
