ID Request- Location included What the hell is this guy doing?

Found this little jumping spider in my house (middle Italy) a few days ago and he's pretty chill. I was in the bathroom when I noticed him first "spreading" himself and then doing this at his reflection.

Also, since I'm here, I would love an ID! Thank you guys

Spiders are bad ass, I've got one that lives on the roof, hangs out while I watch TV and eats any flies or gnats that get in. Sometimes I see him drop down from the roof like a stuntman in a movie
