CAROLUS III? possibly and on the reverse ARAGON.

Charles V King of Aragon (and a few other places!)?

And he did have a beard.

Having had another look I think there is sufficient room on the edge for CAROLUS IIIII (as opposed to CAROLUS V).

And, as Petrus pointed out, I also now see REX ARAGON on the reverse.

Charles V (Holy Roman Emperor) did have connections with Italy, as well as Portugal, Spain, Austria and the Netherlands.

This coin is a Netherlands coin featuring Charles V and I'm struck by the similarity of the portraits.

You are right, he is Carolus V of Sicily (also V of Holy Roman-German empire, I of Spanish empire, IV of Naples .....). This coin is 2 cavalli from Naples

It is worth "2 cavalli", minted in Naples.
Legend (in yours):
Obv: CAROLUS IIIII RO IMP (Charles V roman emperor)
Rev: ARAGO VTRIVS SICI + REX (Aragon and two Sicilies king)

It had to be struck between 1520 (when he received the title of Holy Roman-Germanic emperor) and 1556 when he abdicated.
