Looking for font style common on Italian signage, book covers and postcards in the early 1900s

[gemmadonati]

Hi guys, I'm looking for a type of font that seems to have been very common in Italian typography from about 1900-1920, seemingly disappearing when futurism and especially rationalism came into vogue in the 1920s. The example is from a gramophone record sleeve from the mid-1910s.

I've already tried checking with those free font identification apps and they haven't offered anything remotely similar.

I've been trying to find a similar font for quite some time now. It can be free or commercial, doesn't matter. Thanks in advance!
