General 2010 Fiat Panda - Parts recommendation

You need some more information

With or without an engine check light

These engines have after run cooling, if the engine is very hot then ECU will keep the fans on to limit the heat soak as the water pump is no longer turning,this could be normal behaviour

Or a fault causing overheating such as low coolant

Also

If the engine detects abnormal behaviour of the cooling system it will put the check light on and leave the fans running after the engine is switched off

So there's three possibilities unless I have missed something

We need to narrow it down

If you have a scan tool read any code, unfortunately temperature errors self clear from the dash but should still be logged for a few engine restarts anyway

And check the coolant level

The rad fan running after you have shutdown the engine is quite normal in hot weather most carts will do that after a long drive

Absolutely. And many will run the radiator fan continuously when the air con is active.

Edit. Some newer vehicles have supplementary electric water pumps and will continue to circulate coolant for some time after the main water pump stops rotating due to engine shut down - good for Turboes etc - In fact my Scala has one. So there's another thing to go wrong when it gets older!
