Have you tried a Google Image search? I can spot a few things there that might fit your description.

It doesn't sound like any European fruit I know - there aren't that many kinds of native fruits here, and I suppose they are all fairly known abroad as well.

Your link set me on the right path in a roundabout way so thanks for that! Turns out they were feijoas, a native of South America (not Italy haha).

Is it passion fruit? I tried posting a link but apparently that means spam now..

Passionfruit has prominent black seeds that are much different to the yellowish flesh of the fruit.

I'm pretty familiar with passionfruit! Turns out these were feijoas.

I also tried posting links but got spam-filtered...

Just from aggressive Googling... it might be a type of Sapote? Like a green star apple?

I am really curious!

[amycorvus]

Feijoas!

[notcharming]

Maybe JuJube or Feijoa?

[amycorvus]

Feijoas!

Gooseberry? just a wild guess. haha

Goseberries = kiwi fruit, which I'm very familiar with! Turns out they were feijoas :)
