It does, even without detail, appear to be a photo of a captain in Italian Army service circa WW1 or perhaps shortly thereafter. The star on the collar is pretty typical, the three plain stars, without any apparent surrounding embroidery, are captain's rank insignia.

Wikimedia:Uniforms of Italy show the collar stars.
Wikipedia:Military Ranks of the King of Italy shows the rank insignia.
