What does this mean?

Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be an italian landscape painting of the 1960s, depicting village houses near a river. It is a well done painting by a professional artist, using the palette knife to create a vivid impasto. I can´t see a full signature, if such actually exist it might no lead to any specific biography. Several artist used the same technique to produce paintings for home decor and the signature may just be a pseudonym. The estimate is based on similar paintings by lesser known italian artists actually sold at auction.
