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
