Segestria florentina (Rossi, 1790) with those greenish palps, I believe. |

If you have a higher resolution original photo you should be able to zoom in on the head region and see that this is one of the haplogynae spiders with only six eyes rather than the more usual eight.
Note that there is a seperate spiders forum, and this fearsome beast easily qualifies as spider of the day...
