Sue: Did you get a reply to your question? Since we are going to Italy in October, I was curious and went to my book. It certainly sounds like a woodpecker, but I didn't find one with a crest. I skimmed the book, but didn't come up with anything. Were you there? Where? Did you "get" other good birds?
