Incidentally, I am currently writing a rather exhaustive post on Franca Florio's jewels, including this tiara.
It was sold to Ignazio Florio by Prince Giovanni Del Drago, but I don't have any conclusive information on the provenance. Most likely it was part of his mother's dowry as Mauriz suggested.
I will post my research in the coming days, with a number of high- resolution pictures!
