Please don't use Doctor, it would suggest either they had a PhD/dottorato or that they were a qualified medical practitioner. Personally I would just use Bachelor of Economics. HTH :).

Notes to answerer
Asker: here "dottore" refers to Bachelor in Economics. I would use Doctor, am I right?

Asker: therefore ...awarded the degree of Bachelor of Economics? or Bachelor IN Economics? anyway, I would just say: awarded the degree of Bachelor. (or better BA??)
