This plant has appeared on a local 'gardening FB page and no one has  as yet id'd it. I dont know it, any ideas anyone?
Pete and Jan retired to le Marche, Italy 20 years ago for a quiet,  sunny life.  Gardening here was a challenge, but we now have a wonderful garden, with an eclectric selection of plants,  including many wild  flowers and orchids of which we are found of.

Maybe Aruncus?

I give that image as it gives a good impression of the character of the foliage.

There is also a hint of Sorbaria about it.
