I cannot see the liner logo completely, nor the imprints on the sweatband. Am I right that the top line of the liner logo reads something like "qualita extra extra superiore"?
Taken together the sweat band, the label behind the sweatband, the red size tag and the liner logo make me think that the hat is from the fifties, possible the forties.
But I am still learning myself. Perhaps others can make a more accurate guess?

Thanks for the additional pics.
I stay with my earlier guess.
The imprint of the seller shows that the hat has originally been sold in Italy, by a hatter so far unknown to me.
Hope this helps!
