It seems the reg. # is N767TT.

Well I guess it must be a loaner then, what with the green, white and
red Italian paint job on the tail, the Italian coat of arms, with the
words "Italian Air Force" right below them.

....but this might provide some clarification;

Pre-delivery test flights while still with Boeing. Italy ordeed four
KC-767 which are now in service.

I've noticed that several recent military aircraft ordered from Boeing
by foreign militaries are often pre-painted in the full unit markings
of the eventual squadron here at the factory; primarily the various
737 AWACS delivered to Australia, Turkey, South Korea, and India.
