I thought it was an Italian twin boom aircraft project...

But it is not... Do you know the name?..
Have a nice week end...

It looks like a French Capra/Matra M-75 (2 lateral engines driving a central pusher propeller). I check and I come back.

The tailplane is for sure the Robert patent used in Capra (then Matra) projects.
The canopy is not looking like a R-75 (4 seats, tourism) but rather R-100 (tandem 2-seats, fighter) as well as the central air intake on the back (the R-100 has a central engine, the R-75 has 2 lateral engines). But, on a R-100, there would not be these weird structures at the front of the booms.
Does anyone know better?

http://forum.aviation-ancienne.fr/t7146-maquette-de-matra-r-100 confirms the tailplanes... I go on.

Final confirmation : http://aerophile.over-blog.com/article-capra-matra-100-et-110-63334828.html
This was the French Matra R-100, with an artist drawing, maybe wrong for the front part of the booms.

The artist impression is the same as in Jean Cunys "Les Avions De Combat Francais" Tome I,
just mirrored. illustrating the Matra R.100/110, so Tophe is absolutely right. The R.100 was to have
been powered by a sinlgle Hispano Suiza 24Z, the R.110 by two RR Griffon, maybe the elongated
booms would have been on the 110 only, but actually I couldn't find a clue. Maybe it was just
a modification during the design, perhaps to allow for more fuel, as in the de Havilland SeaVixen FAW.2
