I think we’re dealing with Torino Heavy, which sadly does not seem to have survived into the digital age.

thanks that's interesting, I've never seen Torino.

However looking at the R in ARAGON, and the red Bodoni, it might rather be a lost Condensed Bodoni with a modern G? There is are "Bodoni ZH" and a "Bodoni L" with such a G, not bold or condensed however as far as I see.

Bauer Bodoni is another contender, with some tweaking to the width.

 

Then again, ARAGON and roman may not be set in the exact same face as BLANCHE OU L’OUBLI.

 

Bodoni is a likely option for those two shorter lines, but hard to be sure given the low-res quality of your image. Archive Modern is another option, if you want something with a slightly historical patina.

Remember that there are many metal versions and sizes of Bodoni which will not match any digital font.
