For what is worth, essentially the same joke appears in The Hungarian Tiger by Tibor Fischer (a short book about how Viktor Orbán became Hungary PM, and why this is - all in all - a positive thing).

I do not know if this joke was originated in Hungary, but I am Italian and I am pretty sure it's not an Italian joke.

There is a local variant of that joke in about every country east or south of Germany :)
