Would be grateful if anyone could point me to a place or website that sells the ceiling attachment for this shade:

natuzzi.furnitalia.com/collection/horus

TIA

Do you know it doesn't come with it? I'd be very surprised if it wasn't included, especially as it's described as a 'pendant lamp' rather than 'pendant shade'.

Yes, sorry should have mentioned. Store does not supply with the fitting. Strange.

In which case it should just fit onto a normal lamp holder like any other shade, but for a shade that wide I'm surprised it's not part of a complete fitting. Strange, as you say!

they can't sell many of them - who can be bothered to hunt down a matching ceiling fitting unless, as you say fresh, it's a standard one.

It's Italian, is it? So maybe they have a different standard.

An ordinary UK rose in white plastic will have enoungh loop-in and loop-out terminals for UK wiring conventions, and no UK person will notice it is not an Italian one. Crabtree, MK and MEM are three good brands. There are also some cheap ones around. It it is a heavy fitting, UK standard is to screw a metal hook through the ceiling into a joist for the supporting chain.

just throw away the cord and lampholder it comes with

You might be able to get one with a real or fake chrome cover at a specialist lighting shop for ten times the price. Any metal will have to be earthed.

I don't understand from your picture if it is hung on cords, or if those are three (or more) white insulated single-core flexes.

sorry, here's a rose without the cord and lampholder for a pound less

The rose has two plastic hooks inside where the supporting cores are normally looped over to take the weight without straining the terminals. Screwing the cover on traps them into place.
