If you have access to a programming code, you could easily split the string with "space"-"hyphen"-"space", and get the necessary items.
With a regex, you may use
^(\d+)\s*-\s*([^-]+)\s
See the regex demo
Details:
^- start of string(\d+)- Group 1 capturing 1 or more digits\s*-\s*- a hyphen enclosed with 0+ whitespaces([^-]+)- Group 2 capturing 1+ chars other than-, as many as possible (the+quantifier is greedy)\s- a whitespace

Hope this helps!
var string = '01 - Il visitatore misterioso - Mia and me II';
var regex = /^(\d{2})\s\-\s([\w\s]+)\-[\w\s]+$/;
var matches = regex.exec(string);
console.log('Group 1:', matches[1])
console.log('Group 2:', matches[2])
