Hello!

Yes, the same station was heard a few months ago by the Italian MW DXer
Giampaolo Galassi.
I heard his tape and can confirm that it's an Italian coast station, very
probably Trieste indeed.  
It seems the station has some problem with its transmitter, that should be
operating on 2624 kHz. I don't understand how technically they can put out
a spurious signal on 1500 kHz!
