Hi,
Welcome to the forum.
The spoon is Italian.
The lion of Venice is on the right.
If you show better close up of the image on the left we might identify the maker.
Compare with shapes of Italian registered numbers here:

Or at least tell us what you see:
Being before 1968 you should see two or three digits and then two letters indicating Italian province abbreviation.
