It looks like...

A SOLE motor made in italy..it's probably a 2/16 poles induction motor with run capacitor (around 16uF).
They were very commonly used in Italian washing machines in the 80s and 90s since they had a decent amount of torque and the speeds were easy to select (they only needed two cams on the program timer).
A photo of the sticker on the motor would help a lot though.

Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply. Well honestly this is what i am trying to read myself but in order to achieve that i need to unbolt the motor which is a pain in the arse kinda job. My Gala spins at 500rpm max(14 microfarrats). thanks for your help.

Yes, looks like an IBMEI motor, maybe for a Zanussi.
