COLT single action Army revolver, advice needed.

A 2nd gen Colt SAA will be much more expensive than a 3rd gen gun, they are in the "collectors" status now. The current production 3rd generation Colts from around 2000 and newer are top quality. The USFA guns are also top quality but have become as expensive as Colts due to no longer being produced and attaining "collector" status also.

I agree with what others have said; since you are in Italy, buy a Uberti for 1/2 or less the price of a Colt, unless you just have to have a COLT!

The SA's in 38/357 caliber are much heavier than the 45 due to the smaller holes in the bbl and cylinder (more steel adds to weight), and to me, just do not have the "balance" of the 45 caliber SAA. Besides, the 45 is the traditional "cowboy gun".
