Angelo, I think you may have something valuable to contribute to my
understanding of Nerine sarniensis culture.

Apulia is pretty hot during the summer, isn't it? Does it cool off at
night
much?

Yet you say you have no trouble getting the Nerine sarniensis to bloom.

When does it bloom for you? Are they grown in pots or in the garden?
Are
they in the sun or the shade?

Please let me know.

Here are the long term average monthly maximum and minimum temperatures
I could find for locations in Apulia, Italy. It looks like except for
right at the coast near sea level, it does cool off at night. However,
I don't think any of the summertime maximums are what I would call hot
(90s °F and above).
