Have a look a the Sony Xperia XA2. My wife picked one up for about €210 on a Prime day deal, and it's a really nice compact (relatively) handset. Performance, camera, sound, build quality and battery life all really impressed me, for a midranger.

It was very overpriced on release, but it's worth considering at €250-ish - https://www.amazon.it/Sony-Xperia-Smartphone-Mono-Nero/dp/B0794SC1Y9/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?__mk_it_IT=ÅMÅZÕÑ&qid=1532844231&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=xperia+xa2&dpPl=1&dpID=412FMvJ%2BOsL&ref=plSrch.

There's some talk of an XA3, so you might see it come down further in price.
