I think you found a young scolopendra cingulata. I see a couple of photos labeled as young Cingulata which look similar.
I did a researsch on Cingulata and the young ones look like mine! It looks like it is a Cingulata :)

So cool wish I lived in tropics common pedes near here are tiny winter so cold .
Here in Greece is also cold in winter, but Centipedes start to emerge by the end of March. In summer when the tempratures are high i think they burrow in the ground to avoid the heat. I found this guy in a forest with a river near by, and the tempratures there go a bit cool at night. Centipedes dont like very high tempratures.

S.cingulata. They are basically everywhere in southern Italy, Greece, other Mediterranean nations. Amazing 'pedes.

This is, without a doubt, a S. cingulata. Greece has a few different color schemes for this species. Post a photo of it in a few years - it would be nice to know which morph it is since all juveniles start with practically the same colors.
